Buckweet? what is the reason for using cast bullets in your 7TCU?? They about cost as much as a good jacketed bullet. I tried some loads with 139 grn hornady and 9 grains of unique..nice little load..killer penetration..goes through 8" of hardwood block. Fireball ![[Wink]](images/icons/wink.gif){kind=icon} | ||

Fireball, By casting bullets they cost about $3/100 depending what the WW's cost. 100 - 150 gr bullets out of WW @ $.50 a lb = $1.07 add 100 gas checks and lube @ $2.00 = About $3.00 per 100. With 12 moulds fom 118 gr to 165 gr I have plenty choices and several of them are Hollow Points. My alloy is more like $.10 per pound so its $.21 per 100 bullets or less. I can use powders like Unique for reduced plinking loads. | |||

quote:Thanks but NO way...NO how am I going to start casting bullets...and as far as I can see IF you DO NOT cast your own then they really do not serve much of a purpose. cast bullets for the 7MM just cost too much..I will go with the deals on Jacketed bullets. Now as for my .357 and 45 stuff. yup it is a nice savings. fireball | ||

Why do you think they cost too much? If you order in bulk you save money. They cuase lees wear on the barrel they take less powder. Give me a call we will talk about it. BBT | ||
