Still on the CBF, but I found your website and forum this week. I look forward to meeting back up with the CBF Alumni and also meeting new friends who shoot cast bullets.

Todd. Yes, gas-checks and two coats of PC. one before check and one after. I'm hoping to get a bit more velocity from it than 1600fps and hoping the PC coat and the hard alloy (Bh 18) keeps it from slumping and hopefully get upto 22-2300fps with reasonable 200-300 yard accuracy for use in NRA Highpower rifle matches. We'll see how it goes.Howdy! I, too, will be interested to see how you do with 311413 PC. I assume that is with gas checks installed?
Paul, its cartridge is in my icon! She's pretty good at 50 yards but I haven't developed a good load for 100 yards yet with it.Hey Bruce, how's that 50-70 doing for ya?
Looks like a whole bunch of OUCH!Paul, its cartridge is in my icon! She's pretty good at 50 yards but I haven't developed a good load for 100 yards yet with it.
The 50-70 recoil with 43gr of Pyrodex (volume equivalent to 70gr of blackpowder) pushing that 450gr bullet is a lot less than I expected. Thankfully, I've never been on the receiving end of it!Looks like a whole bunch of OUCH!
