Lloyd Smale's cast bullets suck! (not really, check it out!)
« on: March 18, 2003, 03:31:43 AM »
I worked out a trade with Lloyd for some linotype for his cast bullets about a month ago and I finally got around to shooting some of his bullets this weekend out of my new .454 Casull barrel on my Encore.  I can't believe how bad they were!  I used 11 gr. of Unique behind his 265 gr. PB Keith and they only grouped 1/2" at 50 yds. with 5 shots!  If I brought them into 25 yds. it was only 3/8", and at 75 it only shot about 3/4"!  I can't believe how poor the accuracy was on these bullets! :)  
j/k Lloyd, I figured I'd try to get a rise out of you this morning.  Your bullets worked great, very accurate as you can tell, I'll post some target pics from my next shooting session.  Very little leading and I think it was from faster H110 loads I used at the very end.  Thanks for some great bullets, I hope all the weights shoot just as well, and I wish I had some more of those 265's, that load was accurate as heck and a real pussycat.
I'm trying out the Lee 250gr. Keith's on Friday when I go out, I hope the accuracy is good on those bullets too.

Selmer,
I wonder how many folks will look at the headline and move on........
Without seeing the great review you have given this product and their maker.
I am glad that I stopped in.

so and so's pages on the internet = not reliable resources
Alway check loads you find on the internet against manuals.
NEVER exceed maximum listed loads.

Yep, The post title does not fit the praise!! How about Lloyds cast bullets are Great? I have seen post in the past that where Lloyd has sent bullets and it was not titled as such. I am not flaming anyone here just rather saying lets think about our titles and give credit where credit is due Please. Lloyd is one from the "Good Ole Boy" club.
