![]() 356" push through arrangement as I don't want to get wax based lube all over the inside of an AR gas system. Then the slugs will get sized and gas checked in a. Powder will be from pulled down 8 pound jugs of BLC-2 for the heavy gas checked pig slug, and pulled down M1 Carbine powder WC820 for the lighter pistol slugs.Īll the cast lead slugs will be towel dropped, and then powder coated with Eastwood Ford Light Blue. Lastly, a wide meplat bullet that I am not really sure is going to fit or feed and work correctly at all in an auto-loading AR. OBSOLETE MOLD It shoots OK but in general is not worth pursuing as it is just another plinker bullet This next one has no current picture, as it was a longer heavier 153 grain slug of the same form that was intended for a 38 Super (38 Largo), so you have to use your imagination a bit as my slug is ~25%~ longer than shown. I bought this one just now, to be my "heavy serious slug" for my 35 caliber pig and deer gun. This one has a magazine filling nose which is pointed and tapered enough to feed from an AR magazine right into the auto-loaded chamber, with the bore riding nose picking up the rifling at the normal installation distance. Occasionally, LEE provides a couple of things you may already own that can fit your bill for a Cast Boolit for a new gun. I'm back from motorcycling land (had to give it up, poor reflexes and general health not being up to the risks involved any longer) and I am back to chasing a new gun, a AR based 350 Legend. I feel that a tool is needed to combat these false paths, so I will add hindsight warnings in Purple text when I am giving advice on not to go there. Next, I now have people following the long thread and SPENDING MONEY COPING THE DEAD ENDS AND THE MISTAKES CONTAINED THEREIN. IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU CANNOT EXERCISE COMMON RELOADING EXPLORATORY TECHNIQUES AND TO OBSERVE AND NOTICE AND UNDERSTAND PRESSURE AND PRIMER WARNING SIGNS THEN PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS SERIES OF POSTS NOR TRY TO DO THIS SORT OF STUFF. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO, NOT ME. IT DOES NOT GIVE YOU LICENSE TO EXPAND THE INFORMATION HERE TO ALL GUNS AND ALL LOADS, ESPECIALLY NOT TO HOT LOADS USING JACKETED BULLETS. Hopefully Hornady or somebody tests this powder in the future.THIS IS A STORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LOW PRESSURE CAST BULLET CASE, A SET OF CAST BULLET LOADS AND A GUN THAT SHOOTS THE ABOVE. Haven't loaded the cases yet to see if the primers pockets are still tight, but I suspect they are. No idea what the pressures were but never observed any pressure signs to include primer signs, and or extrusion into the extractor pocket. I stopped at 16.0 gr because they started going supersonic. N120 is a stick powder which I suspect makes it behave better. Interestingly, the powder seemed to ignite and burn clean though clearly things didn't get rolling until north of 11.0 gr. I don't have a good reason for that starting point.ġ0.0 gr was too low. I estimated that ~16.0 gr is the max you can fit in a case with a seated bullet. With no data, but some anecdotes about N120 being case capacity limited rather than pressure limited (for this application, not in general), I decided to forge ahead.
