Hahaha
Not reprimanding anyone here in any way. But when ya DONT KNOW, ask, investigate, learn or be quiet. God gave us TWO EYES AND TWO EARS but one mouth for good reason!!
Why would someone make the claim that you would never attempt something “so unsafe”, then in the very next breath, proclaim that you know nothing about the subject? As Plant explained a larger dia bullet when using Cast, is required.
Cast bullets are quite different then jacketed, but even jacketed running larger dia, isn't quite as volatile as “internet sources” would have you believe. Using Cast bullets opens a world of possibilities unknown to jacket bullet shooters. ESPECIALLY to those who also cast there own bullets!! Hardness, Diameter are variables UNKNOWN to a jacketed only re loader and BOTH PAY HUGE dividends to overall Preformance of your loadings.
Let me blow your mind a lil farther...when using cast bullets, best results are when bullet is actually TOUCHING the RIFLING!
Yup truth. But if you have researched at all you may also know bench resters have learned this as well as very hot loads also shoot very small Groups. BUT there rifles are also built to more exacting tolerances. (Another topic for another day)
Know that Cast is not Jacketed for loading.
Generally speaking unless your shooting real hard bullets like 22+ BHN, “fat bullets” will shoot better. There are a few reasons for a specific bullet. And sometimes chambers are cut NOT to allow whats truly needed. IE small or short or non existent throats. Revolver cylinders cut too large. Are a few examples.
I have only loaded up one dummy. I only just cast and coated last weekend so the bullets need to season a while before Ill shoot them. I dont show it but these bullets are also gas checked design. Making jacketed velocities are reality if I wanted. Powder coating as goes a long way to preformance removing most all Leading worries as well as encapsulating the bullet in a polymer jacket that reduces to nill the Lead particles in the air. While affording the use of a softer projectile! Soft lead bullets expand like no other.
