Lloyd Smale's bullets suck! (not really, check it out!)
« on: March 18, 2003, 03:36:00 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.

It's a TC Encore with a 12" barrel, I'm hoping for killing deer at 150 yds., I'll keep my reality in check, those ranges are for my .30-06!
