I am expecting my LBT mold later today!!! I will post some pics and hopefully targets later, as I have been waiting furiously for a chance to start cast work.
I would like very much to see a pic of the bullets you are shooting, the LBT 200-??
I have thought of Trail Boss for awhile but My experience level has stoped me from too much experimentation without prior testing done by someone else. I may try it - if I need it, I think it is priced a bit high, isn't it?
I wish I could compare cast results with you, and try to engage in some mutual learning,,,, but not yet. Thank you for sharing. That seems pretty good for cast, but again I have not been able to work with cast in these rifles. My best Russian for shooting jacketed shoots pretty tight groups, but I don't think cast will work that well, we will see. I will definitely be doing a write up here on my experiences
I too hope to compete, but I am a bit in the dark about the competitions. It seems to happen without me even knowing. THere have been postal matches already!!?!!:(mI really need to try and figure out this schedule. Even so I do not have anywhere to shoot at 200YD so I am sort of out of luck. I can nto afford St Louis BR. @ 400$:wow: on tope of that I have already purchased a Weaver K6 an Lepold rings, but now am unsure of which rifle to scope. I would like to leave my cast M39 stock but I don't know if the issue sites (as good as they are) can hang with those intriquate springfield adjustable jobbies. I have actaully begun to consider if my philosophy of using the guns with new barrels for cast and shotbarrels for jacketed is backwards. may be I should use the new barrels for jacketed for a couple thousand rounds and see if the oversize old bores perform with cast. It would not be a great shock to learn that my appraoch was exactly and precisely BACKWARDS :dunce:
