Nice video and good theme! Thanks! Could you please add more details? What is a shooting distance? What was a standard ammo? What are custom cartridges characteristics (bullet weight, powder amount, primer)?
Have you tried shooting the PC bullets without gas checks? I am trying to do that with reduced loads. I have heard that you can push cast bullets at top speeds without a GC but have not tried it. Have you?
I have tried with gas check and without them, but problem I was running into with no gas check was, the rounds seemed to get pushed back into the case even after crimping. And when I used gas checks, it appeared they weren't seated perfectly and would cause a bulge when seated into the case. I eventually decided primers and powder was too expensive to keep wasting in testing.
As long as your powder coated bullet is sized properly for your rifle and the lead is at least wheel weight hardness you wont have any problems with leading. If your PC bullet is a little undersized is when you will get leading.
I own Lyman bullet molds in 30 cal - 358 - 9 mm in 356 - and all of the bullets from these molds shoot terrible. I just shot a bunch of 358 - 200 grain in the 35 Remington making a 4 inch group and that is as good as these can do from the 35 Rem..
I tried with those. Video and documented my work on it. But the results were horrible. I decided to stop. I know there's guys who are deeper into that than me and do a much better job with cast bullets.
@lurebenson7722 same. Accuracy wasn't worth the powder I was burning. And I was having problems with bullets being pushed back I to cases. This was a problem in several rifles, both bolt and lever action. Which is crazy because a friend had good results with his testing. I may try again one of these days, but I feel that there's better channels with subject matter experts who are better at this material than I.
@@AlabamaVeteran I only shoot the marlin 35 Rem with those lead bullets made from tier weights just for blasting and I don't waste to much powder and primers. I know the Marlin 35 Rem is so accurate with all the other normal rifle bullets so shooting the lead bullets I know it is the bullet not the gun. I had a strange reload idea and it was surprising to see those Barry handgun bullets in 356" 9mm 124 grain are so accurate from the Marlin 35 Rem they shoot same hole every shot. I have the powder charge of CF Black to 38 grains, so those 124 grain bullets had to be smoking out of the barrel. I got the idea after seeing the accuracy of those 9 mm 124 grain bullet fired from the 35 Rem as a coyote liquidator!
