I've got a CZ550 American in 9.3x62. Wonderful rifle and caliber (will be taking it elk hunting next year). Was wondering if anyone makes a good 250-270grain cast bullet (.366/67 diameter). I cast myself but if there are good commercially avialable, I'd gladly not breath the lead. BobG in VA

I don't know that you could buy a cast bullet for as little as the Speer 270gr, 50 for $14, or Privi Partisan 286's @ $20/100. They are pretty reasonable and I would think that they'd do pretty much anything a cast bullet would. Kudude

Kudude, I've already got a bunch of both of those bullets. I'm just looking for "plinking" 100 yd loads with SR4759. I shot some 270s, and a few 232 Norma Oryxs today at 225yds. Both do well in my rifle. Just looking for a little different type of shooting. As a matter of fact, I'd think that a 250gr cast bullet would make an excellent Whitetail deer load at about 1800 to 2000fps (pretty much what a 250 gr 28-55 would do. BobG in VA

Opps, should have read "38-55" vice 28-55. BobG in VA

Why bother. The Privi Partisan is only about 2250 anyway. It's excellent for deer.

I use the Privi Partisan 286gr from Grafs and push it with 32gr of SR4759 at about 1860 fps. This makes a great plinking/practice round. Push it a bit faster and you have your Whitetail round, still using 4759.

Since everyone else is too fucking busy telling you what a stoopid idea it is to use cast, here ya go:

He can size correctly for the 9.3. I spoke with him at length about some cast bullets for my 9.3x57 which by the way loves the Prvi partizan 285's. But it turns Out I have a buddy that will cast some for me instead. Anyway, I agree it would be a hell of a lot of fun shooting cast. For me there is the added bonus of being able to shoot in the local cast bullet silhouette matches.
