Ok, this is a new project and pretty much a work in process but thought it worth sharing what Mark and I have been working on....
Got a good deal on a BOHICA and then had to figure out how to keep it fed.....
Reloading is a no brainer but given Mark's casting expertise thought it would be worth seeing what we could do loading cast for the beast....
Was able to get an 875 grain 50BMG cast mold from a NOE group buy over on Cast Boolits.... Casts a pretty good looking boolit..... Here it is compared to one of our cast 308 rounds.....
Ordered a .512 sizing die for my star from Lathesmith and gas checks from Blammer over on the cast boolits site..... Lubed with Lars Carnauba Red and gas checked the boolit consistently weighs just over 880 grains.....
