    6.5CM with cast

    Not an ideal caliber for shooting cast but when I decided to try cast shooting it was the only caliber I felt appropriate for cast. Shot a personal best 10 shot group at yesterday's CBA match which was also smallest 10 shot group among the 9 competitors - .882" @ 100yds. Boolits are deep seated Lyman 266469 using #2 alloy.

    Rifle is bone stock 12FV in a Bobby Hart LRT topped with a vintage B&L 24x, was my 3rd or 4th match.

    Nicely done. Looks like you aren't new to casting either.

    Try out the Cast Boolit forum. Lots of good folks over there too.

    For a 'noob' you are doing extremely well!!!

    Don't ya just hate fliers, :)

    Thank you for your kind remarks, and yes, fliers do give me fits.

    Am a member on Cast Boolits, don't post much but read a lot. Shuz at Cast Boolits (also here) shot from the bench next to me Saturday. He got me into casting and I consider him my mentor.
