.30 cal ??
« on: January 31, 2007, 07:28:03 AM »
Does anyone sell soft lead cast bullets in .30 cal that would be right for paper patched hunting bullets? I cannot cast where we are.

Since you have had no responces I think no one sells the bullets you want.  Get yourself a lee lead dipper, a 200 grn. Lee 30 cal mold a stainless cooking pot at a thrift store, a Coleman camp stove & a Lee custom sizeing die @ .301 dia. some plumber's lead & some 50/50 bar solder, mix to 1:15   Take all your casting stuff to a local park (in nice sunny weather) set up on a picnic table & cast away.  run your new bullets through the Lee sizer & paper patch to .309".  Load to aprox 2000 fps, shoot them & see what happens( smile)
