I am trying to put together some cast (140gr) bullets for my daughter to plink with her 7-08 but am having a hard time finding any data. Can someone point me in the right direction? I found good reduced hunting loads on Hodgdon's site but need some cast data.

Thanks,
Redleg

Just a few lines down in the list of forums here at AR, you will find a forum called "cast bullets". If you have not already done so, I would suggest you will get a lot more replies, from much more knowledgeable people on this particular subject, if you repost your inquiry there.

Very generally speaking, in my rifles, cast bullet loads work pretty well with exactly the same loads as jacketed bullets....up to a muzzle velocity of about 2,000 fps. Above that speed there are a lot of other things to consider, including bullet alloy, bullet lubricant, bullet size, powder burn rates, gas checks, etc., if you want really good loads

The guys on the cast bullet forum can fill you in on all that stuff.


My country gal's just a moonshiner's daughter, but I love her still.

Canuck,
Thanks, I posted the same thing in the Cast Bullet Forum. There is a ton of pistol data out there but not a lot of rifle.
