pigdog72, some questions for you. Are you casting them yourself ?...gaschecks used ?.... how is the accuracy ? .... are they knocking them down reliably ? Lastly, how much more elevation correction do you need over your jacketed high velocity chicken zero?

What mold,alloy, water dropped or air cooled and finally what lube? You can save even more $ by using Promo. Same charge weight, less volume. Maybe 10cents a loaded round?

Very interested in hearing a response to the two previous posts. This sounds like good cheap fun. I got a friend that loves to cast bullets that could do some for me if I gave him the mold.
