Thanks. One of the reasons I chose the .308 when I bought my BVSS was eventually shooting cast in it. I've cast bullets for about 40 years now. Mostly pistol and muzzleloader, but only some rifle, until the last few years. Then I decided to see what I could do with the .308 if I really devoted some effort to it.

I started out with a Lee 180gn mold for the .308 to start experimenting. Early results were surprising to me so I continued. That led me to powder coating bullets. For those who don't know it is a great alternative to the 'normal' lubes. Then I got some more 'serious' molds. I also have a few bullets that I prepare with a lubesizer (RCBS).

After that I went down the cast bullet 'rabbit hole' looking for more accuracy, attempting to get consistent sub-MOA groups. :) In a bit I'll post up some pics as soon as I can find and upload them. Basically I have three velocity ranges I shoot at. Subsonic for fun plinking. Med velocity (~1800fps) for most work out to about 300yd, and high vel (2000fps or a bit more) for 500yd. That's about my limit simply due to the fast twist of the .308 (1-10). A slower twist lets you go to a higher velocity, which would get more range. Another velocity limit is reached somewhere in the 2600-2800fps where some strange things can happen. These are for .30cal bullets. Other dia and twist rates will give different limits.

FWIW, I also worked up some loads for my M1 Garand. I don't shoot it as much but I know I can be relatively accurate with it.

For those who don't know there is also a Cast Bullet Association who run matches across the country. Mostly benchrest with different classes of rifle and pistol.
