    I have a 100 of these cast and powder coated and will see how they do at 25 yards. if it doesn't work out then I'll get a different mold but most of the good guys on Cast Boolits said this bullet should work just fine. time will tell.

    That's interesting to hear that others were able to get decent accuracy from that bullet. What is the OAL you are going to load them at?

    I like to cover half the top bearing surface. Have it wrote down in the reloading room. Loaded them twice last year but my grandson keep plinking with them before I could test 'em.
