accuracy test

[white eagle]

With my Knight Peregrine
Went out today to do some accuracy testing with my new
Accurate Molds 40-290SG
I cast the boolits out of Isotope alloy and powder coated them
the range was 100 yards and the velocity at this point is unknown
I was using Blackhorn 209 and started with 100 gr./70w and shot 110 gr./77w
and then went to 130 gr./91w
the boolits look like this
and the first group is above the paper
I was shooting at the top left bull
that was 70 Gr/W
next is 77 Gr/W

I did shoot a 130 Gr/charge but that opened up to unacceptable size
so apparently this alloy is fine with 110gr/77W of Blackhorn 209
The alloy is ,guessing here, about 12 BHN its very similar to old fashioned wheel weights

Nice shooting & cool boolits - Zombie Killer Green

 

[deermanok]

Lol, exactly what I thought. Zombie killers.

 

[Decay]

I'd love to see photos of the recovered bullets.

 

[GM54-120]

Kryptonite boolits

 

[rangerod]

I hate those Zombies. More so than werewolves.

 

[white eagle]

I am considering having this mold hollow pointed
to initiate expansion for hunting

 

[MeatMachine]

Incredible Hulk bullets

Incredible Hulk bullets

Sooooo you don't want to see them boolits when they're angry

 

[Confederate rifleman]

What is isotope alloy?
I hear that, I'm thinking radioactive...

 

[white eagle]

They are isotope cores and yes they do use them in radioactive work
what in particular I am not sure but their completely inert when I got them
they are a clean alloy that makes great bullets

 

[JeffB1961]

so they're more like shrek bullets than hulk bullets ?

No need hollow point /gas checks ! Pure lead with plain base shoots tiny groups@200 yds with
great expansion , 75gr weighed BH209/80 grains OE 3F in my TC Renegade 50 cal using Mag Spark 209 adapter or my CVA pocket rocket CVA V2 50 cal pistol/carbine with 4x Leupolds+ Havester 50x40 sabots

 

[txhunter58]

The word alloy would seem to imply these are not pure lead? If that is correct, then I think a hollow point might help for expansion. Especially at longer distances.

 

[white eagle]

yes alloy is different lead compositions
say like lead and tin
or lead and antimony
for hunting I like binary alloy's, you can get behind them with more powder

I don't shoot a 50 caliber I am using a 40 caliber
pure lead will not hold up to a trip down my barrel with the charges I use
the check is on it for the pounding it take during launch
I do shoot pure in my 54 cal though
the hollow point is for experimentation I don't know if I would use it on anything bigger than a coyote but it makes things more interesting
