i decided to cast rifle freedom seeds ..

[hunter thompson]

Ive been watching all i can on powder coating rifle bullets. So decided to get a lee mold 312 185 grain and use some lyman no 2 and linotype.ALL ive seen is great reveiws and no lead deposits. Ill still gas check them even when some say its not necessary. ANYONE else do rifle bullets with powder coat?

 

[Lennypeters]

I cast and powder coat 30 caliber bullets for an '03A3 and a Garand. I cast and Hi-tek coat 30 caliber bullets for a 300 Blackout.

I cast 44 and 45 caliber rifle bullets but have never tried powder coating. I paper patch them.

Nothing super duper sonic so no gas checks.

What rifle? Cartridge? Twist? Application?

There’s a few on here that have had great success.

You are talking bolt gun, right?

 

[Lennypeters]

how much linotype are you putting into the mix?

None. 50-50 range lead and wheel weights and a pinch of tin

10% i think i didnt weigh it cause iam a pretty good guesser and all that ive read and watched on you tube says thst you can do soft lead without a problem... iam doing this in 303 and mosin nagants with low velocity pistol powder ..just paper punchers

title blah blah blah f them

 

[gerrycaruso]

In theory the 303 and the 7.62x54 should use the same diameter bullet but that's not always the case. My 303 and 7.7x58 will shoot a 311 bullet OK but my 7.62x54 will not. It requires a 314. All this applies to cast bullets. Not jacketed. Fit is probably more important than alloy.
