I just hope they shoot. Cast for my sons BB classic it has been sitting in the safe unfired since before Easter waiting for him to get home to fire the first shots. Will load up some test loads for him to try, I also have a lee 200 RF mould that I need to cast some with, 200 new starline brass 200 federal factories, Hornady and speer 240 & 300gr jacketed and even a box of speer shot capsuals.
Some good lookin bullets there 220, I have a Lyman 300 gr mold, but with my mix they usually come out between 317, and 322.
What powder do you use with those?

What COL will you seat the bullet to? Maybe load a couple dummy rounds to see how they cycle. So far a 1.623 will run in my .44 BBS carbine.

Wow, those are some artillery rounds there now. These 275 gr. WFN bullets are all the shoulder thumping I can handle with my deer hunting loads.
