Just wondering:
For you veteran castificators out there, is there a magical alloy formula for casting accurate bullets for a given twist rate? I've read plenty here how pure lead can produce great results in a 1:48 twist barrels. I also know some change up the alloy to add a bit of hardness for faster twist rates.
So, for the sake of supposition, Let's say I'm thinking of swapping my 1:48 twist rate .54 cal barrel in my Hawken for a 1:36. Should I continue to use pure lead, or will a 1/40 or 1/20 be better. What if I don't want to use sabots in my 1:28 twist 50 cal? Should I use an alloy in that for cast bullets?
Getting ready to order some Accurate i molds for .50 and .54 because I love me some fat meplats. I may order a faster twist barrel for my Hawken .54.
