Thread: Slow Powder, Heavy GC boolit, anyone got a ballistics calculator?

I don't recommend shooting these bullets faster than 1900fps most feed back I get is that 27.00gr 2206H is the load to start with
look for accuracy not velocity with cast bullets the HP will expand at under 1000fps the solid's will expand at 1400fps no need for
high velocity,
Experimenters have achieved over 3000fps with cast bullets with specialised barrels and very hard bullets that are totally useless for
hunting I can make the bullets but they will be the same price as jacketed ones so not worth the effort,
You are better off with stick powder if you go the slow powder route 4831 is popular with the slow burn rate cast bullet shooters in the States
fills the case and lowers the pressure you get some unburnt powder but it is easy to clean out just don't push the bullets to fast and cause lead fouling
that is hard to shift if left to build up.
