Default Cast bullet shootout

Thought this might interest some of you. Ed Mehlig, a fellow White owner and message board friend, has conducted a test of my cast bullets alongside some from Bob Bowers, another of my message board friends. Ed is in Pennsylvania, Bob is in Virginia, and I'm here in Missouri.

The difference in the weights of these bullets is less than indicated, mine average ~425 grains and Bob's more in the 440 grain area. Mine are pure lead, Bob's have a small % of tin.

Bob got his casting equipment just this past Christmas after his wife consulted me via email about suggesting gifts. As you can see, he's picking it up pretty quick and is already teaching me a thing or two.

I believe the squares on the target are roughly 1/2". I've contacted Ed for a measurement.

Bob's handle is T-bolt and of course......
