bfrshooterBFR .475 groups
I made a double cavity mould for a WFN boolit that weighs 411 gr's. I used 26 gr's of 296, Felix lube and a Fed 155 primer. I went down and shot 5 shots into 5/8" at 50 yd's today. I then shot 5 into 3-1/8" at 100 yd's to check drop. The red dot covers a LOT of target at 100 yd's so I consider the group good. The drop was 2" more then the WLNGC at 6".
I wish it was easy to post pictures on this site. One thing I would like to see fixed.

bfrshooterI make my moulds from scrap aluminum I picked up when I worked for the airline. I cut my own cherrys and only have a Smithy lathe-mill so aluminum works best for me. I use 1/4" stainless for the sprue plate.
