    Shooting Cast Bullets

    I finally made time to get some range time in with the cast loads I made.
    The Load is 13 grains of red dot with Bullets I cast using the Lee C-309-150F
    Mold. The range is at 100 yards using Iron Sights with my 1903A3.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    So, this is a gas check bullet? Looks like they're all there anyway, I have enough pistol powders too I should try some of that with .308 and 30/30. No keyholes anyway...I can't do anything with iron sights any more.
    Regards, Jim

    Yes, they are gas check bullets I usually just plink off hand at gongs but wanted to try on paper, could be better but I have been noticing
    the target gets a little blurry the gongs are a little larger and I do a little better. Nice having less recoil.

    I had to stop offhand because my control isn't what it was, eyesight is failing too. I use those same bullets with 30/30.

    I do ok for a little while then start to get tired offhand and call it a day. As far as my vision I guess I will shorten the distance of the target or try
    using a scope.
