Mine are steel, i think thats all Lyman sells actually.

MD, you make nice bullets.

The look good to me. The front band seems to be engraving the rifling as it should.

Very nice looking bullet. One of my favorite to shoot.

semi, your lead came in today, I will start casting once i shoot the wolf on the range to see how accuracy is. Had 5 big gobblers walking up the road i made to the back property! I got as close as 30 yards for some pictures LOL. My gobbler in the pen was going crazy over them.

MD,

Another thing I forgot to mention, I use a "borebutton", felt wad, whatever one wishes to call them between the powder charge and bullet. Unlike the Lee REAL, the T/C Maxi-ball only engraves at the top ring. I get better accuracy with the overpowder wads. Try some with and without and see what you think and don't skimp on the lube. :nonono2:

yep i shoot them with the wad trackofthewolf sells. The 510A wad un-lubed right now just to see if the wads need to be lubed or not, Going to try them here in the wolf very shortly.

Dry ones should be fine for target shooting. I always used lubed because I buy them in bulk and the price isn't that much more. Besides, I never liked the thought of a dry one laying out in the woods smoldering after taking a shot while hunting. Our seasons can be pretty dry at times and dry leaves can flare up quick.

Mine are veg wads, not the felt/wool wads.

Wolf loves them with 80gr BH209! Cutting quarter size hole at 50 yards.

Casting Semis bullets now.

I think they can still burn, not sure because I've never used them...Are they they the hard veg wads like they use in ML shotguns?
