well, my person health went weird last year and my family also ramped up more of my personal time as one son finished college and got established on his own just as one other son finished high school and is in college now himself and youngest son is now a senior in high school...But now I'm back, I hope. with two more spirepoint bullet designs to test in the AR10.
The first one, I've had for a while but I want to see what the stubby little bullet can do with some velocity behind it in a 308Win since it performs very well in my other .30 and .31 caliber rifles (300BLK, 7.62x39, 30 Herrett, 308x1.5, 30-30 Win, 7.7 Arisaka, 303 Brit) Lyman 311359 - Lyman says 115gr but I own two and with my alloy both weigh when PC-coated and checked at 120gr each.
The second, A Lyman 311365, I got off ebay in April but I just have not felt the urge to cast any bullets all summer but today, I finally did get this mold out and cast up around 50 to sort, size and load. I did a quick weighing of the fresh cast bullets and they weighed out at 199.5 so after casting and checking should weigh close to 205gr. I don't push for a high velocity load with this in the AR10 but I do want to see if I can build an accurate and functional load in my AR10 for a potential hunting bullet at under 200 yards.
There is also a new 4-16x44 scope for this rifle to zero as well so perhaps I can get some progress on this thread started again.
