Thats an amazing target with cast bullets.

Did you use gas checks and bullet lube to get such great results?

Sorry for the delay in responding - I've not checked in here in awhile!

To answer your questions -yes, I used gas checks - standard .30 cal Hornady crimp on gas checks. Bullets were lubed using an old Lyman 45 lube-sizer. The lube applied was a home made blend of unbleached bees wax, white lithium grease and alox.

Good cast bullet accuracy is achieved with good bullet fit and a bore that is totally free of jacketed bullet fouling.
