100 yard cast load

[andiarisaka]

Before you start shooting cast, make sure you get all the copper out of your bore. I don't think you'll beat the price you've found, the gaschecks alone are over .03 cents apiece now. Let me know what other powders you have available and we'll find a load below 1500fps for you. You're going to Nebraska from N. Carolina for a match? Wow!

Combat move and shoot match along with some 100 yard acurracy shots with pre 1903 post 1865 military cartridge rifles. Sounds like a lot of fun huh?

Thanks for the offer with help for the loads. I have some 4320 and 4831 (I think). I believe the 4831 is for magnums, which I have zero of.


Vern, I think I have heard about that universal load for cast bullets. Do you have a link?

I use 311284 w/22.5 grs 4198. Works good in my M1898. Shoots 2 inch groups at 100 - - that's as good as I can see with any sights. This gets about 1680 fps. Love the rifle and the load.
