I happened across a box of those at my local SW today. Would be happy to hear about your experience with them if you get there before I do.(03-28-2021, 02:18 PM)Dino11 Wrote: 25.5gr. of CFE223 and the OAL was 2.240.
I only shot the last three sets in the kit, the first two are to be used if you have a barrel that is in bad condition in conjunction with the last 3 sets.
I put over a 100 rounds down it yesterday and I have next to no copper building in the barrel, it is nice and smooth all the way from the throat to the muzzle. The other bullets were loaded with Lever. I was hitting 600 yard steel with 100 gr. SPBT Speer pulled bullets I got from American Reloading.
I got around to sorting through the 500 plus 100 gr. SPBT Speer pulled bullets While HBN coating these bullets. Id say
roughly 40% of these pulled bullets were not fit for much more than fire forming projectiles. The poor form of the lead tip accounted for the greatest portion of the flaws.
I have been waiting on shipping dies from PV until bullets showed up. must say I am starting to get a bit impatient waiting on the bullets to be fulfilled to ship the dies. Need to make some calls this coming week to explore my options for the back ordered items.
Hope you are able to get out before myself as Ill be waiting on my barrel for roughly 7 weeks yet. give or take a couple weeks. Then I don't have any factory arc brass, so ill be using those pulled 100 gr speers primarily as fire forming projectiles initially. Roughly 300 of the 500 I have are fairly good where I may have a chance of MOA out of them.
My expectations are currently fire forming projectiles w the some of the worst of the pulled bullets & if I hold 2 MOA with that stuff ill be surprised. Should make for some inexpensive plinking ammo for my 11 year old son while working on trigger time. If he does not care for the trigger time than I guess Ill do the same.
