Lloyd Smale's bullets suck! (not really, check it out!)
« on: March 18, 2003, 03:37:46 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.

Yep, it is one big hole, only bigger than the hole of the 25 yd. group.  I never expected this gun to shoot this good.  I measure the hole at it's widest point, then subracted .451, the hole was under an inch wide total, the 75 yd. group had them all touching, it was a sight to behold.  Unfortunately Lloyd had only sent me about 70 of those 265 gr. bullets, now I wish I had more cause I only got ten left.  I'm just counting on the 250 gr. bullets doing just as well, I got a few hundred of them.
