With the sad passing of our resident boolit maker, Rob (shooternz) would anyone have any of his cast 150 - 170gr bullets spare to suit a 30-30 application? Looking for a few for a project.
Thanks in advance...

I was wondering what would be happening with his moulds, dies and stock...
Is it just for target practice? I have a heap of hard cast 165gn RNFP Black Widow .30cal projectiles...
Bit of target to get right & some hunting as well, so soft lead preferred, thanks.Quote:

Stupidly accurate in any 30-30, 307, 308 or 303 i have tried it in
Can be sized anything from .307" to .313" to seat gas checks after powder coating

From what I know a lot of moulds belonged to the people he cast for
Some will want them back
Some will have forgotten about them or not care
But either way despite there being a void left it is only a small void of cast lead users and they can easily and cheaply fill it themselves if that's what it takes to keep shooting what they love
Does anyone have the specs on the 151gr .308 sub pill he was using? Bit of work required to recreate it otherwise...
Bloody good stuff David. I'll be in contact down the track for some of these and recipes for success in the 30-30 .Cheers...Quote:
