Forgot to add,it's the Lyman Loverin bullet..thanksHas anyone tried bullets of pure lead in the 243 using low node loads. I just cast up 70 to try at 50 yards. Will powder coat and gas check. Water pump gone bad in my truck. Be a few days before I can shoot them. Thanks..
No problem. The bullets go in easy as it is a gas check bullet. Thanksnot going to expand the necks either
Just make sure the case neck doesn't squish the base smaller!
Then you fire that oneWhile excessive neck tension can squeeze the body of the bullet smaller, you also need to be aware that resistance on entering the case mouth can create another issue. Seating the bullet that resisted entering the case can result in expanding the nose of the bullet. This could create just enough resistance that the nose will stick in the lands when you attempt to remove an unfired round from the rifle. So be prepared for a stuck bullet. Powder coating might have just enough thickness variation that many will chamber just fine, until one sticks.
I am the range officer..I doubt that the range master will be real happy when you do that after he calls for a Cease Fire.
Can you respond to my new thread about your pure lead cast 40 S&W experience? I don't want to steal this thread. ThanksOnly pure I tried was in 40SW normal loads. Learned real fast that they would shoot fine when they didn't tumble - 401 Lee sizer left them UNDERSIZED! Higher psi is required on the smaller cals to get same performance.
That bullet had NO gas check. It was also unsized. Powder coated. At 50 yards.loaded with 4.0 gr of Winchester wst..I neck sized,annealed cases. Only 6 shots.Have you shot your pure lead cast bullets yet? I'm curious what your accuracy is even though you have a gas check to distribute pressure across the base and PC to seal in the lead. I'm wondering what the smallest amount of antinomy can be used so the alloy can be water dropped to increase bhn.
