Any Small Bore Caster Out There?
« on: February 10, 2011, 04:51:21 PM »
Hello, I was wondering if any of you cast .22, 6mm, .25. or 7mm?

Yep,

Got a coffee can full of 22 gc hard cast.  And a coffee can full of 6mm, (243) gc hard cast.

Hello, Mechanic.  I have been shooting cast in the .22 Hornet and .222Rem.  It took me five years, but I was finally able to achieve the same level of accuracy with the best jacketed match at 100yds.
In the 6mm, I am using the Ideal 245498 in an 1895 .236 Winchester-Lee straight-pull Sporting rifle.
In the quarter bore, I have a Stevens 49 Schuetzen .25-20 S.S.  And soon to be the lucky owner of a .25-25 Stevens
The 7mm is a custom Leeth for a pre war (WW1) 7X57 German Sporter.

What are you using in the 22's.  I have the 225450, 225438, 225462 and Bator.  I get the best accuracy out of my K-hornet with the Bator.
If I agreed with you then we would both be wrong.
