Default I have some .429" cast bullets

I've been doing some snooping around and I have a whole bucket full of .429" lead cast bullets and I believe they are 265 gr.
Does anyone want to try them out and see how they shoot with sabots in their rifles?
Let me know and I will send ya off a couple handfuls.

Have you tried shooting them? What do they look like? Can you post a picture of them? I am always up to trying new bullets.

Here you go Dave. The one on the left is a 240 gr hollow point and the one on the right is a 265 gr semi wadcutter.

Those 265's should work great. I have shot a bunch of cast 240's in my MZ's over the years. It is a good cheap way to shoot a good bit. And it is very knid of you to pass some around. I cast my own so I won't need any, but it is still a nice thing you are doing. Tom.

I just might take some out on Sat if I can get my nose above water here. Be got pounded with rain. Weatherman said that we got all of September's rain yesterday. Flooding everywhere. Roads and bridges washed out. Damage will definately be in the millions.
If I get out, I will post some target pics.

I was watching the news about the rain and flooding out there. You be careful!! Those look like a nice bullet. I will be watching for your range report.
