I did nothing to harden them, in fact I want them as soft as possible. But does it seem to you like I'm getting good velocities given the powder charges used?Īnother thing that blew me away is these bullets will drill a hole through 1/4 steel at 100 yards going only 2250 fps at the muzzle! I never expected this from bullets cast from wheel weight alloy and air cooled. I don't know if paper-patched bullets just slip through the bore easily or what. 52 grains of RL-15Ģ250 fps and groups approximately 1.5" at 100 yards using peep sightsĢ270 fps with roughly same accuracy as 49.5 grains of RL-15 So far using 54 grains of RL-15 I chronographed these paper patched bullets at over 2600 fps! I pulled the rest of those - although there was no signs of overly high pressure that I could find - just didn't seem reasonable. But I thought you might be interested in some of my results, and perhaps would be willing to load up a box yourself to experiment with. Unfortunately hunting season is only 9 days here so I haven't been able to test these babies on game. I've had good success with these bullets and am very impressed with the Whelen's capabilities using paper patched bullets. Next I had Mountain Molds make a 280 grain mold in. So I've found your website very useful and helpful. I recently purchased a Savage bolt action and put a.
