Casted up some .443-530 BACO Elliptical’s

[Idaholewis]

I casted up a little Handful of my .443, 530 Grain BACO Elliptical Bullets yesterday evening, I compression Cast these. Bullet Bases are SUPER SHARP! Which is Critical to Good accuracy. This is one of my Favorite Paper Patch Bullets, This one Shoots EXTREMELY well. I need to get my .451 RICE “Eleanor“ Barrel back out Soon and ZERO these up in it, ”Eleanor“ does quite well with these

My only complaint with Shooting my Paper Patch is Fouling Control after each Shot, it is somewhat of a Nightmare with Swiss Real Blackpowder. I use 2 WET SOAKED High Content Alcohol Patches to “PLOW” My way through the Fouling, I Then run 2 Drying patches. Simply Put, Its the nature of the Beast with Paper Patch & Swiss Real Blackpowder. I can help this quite a bit by Using 100% Peanut Oil SOAKED 1/8” Wool Felt OP Wads (as I’ve said before, 100% Peanut Oil is an AWESOME Hydrator!!) But that’s ONLY when Loading & Shooting at the Bench, You would NEVER do this for Hunting as it would Contaminate the Powder. This is 1 reason why i NEVER Recommend Paper Patch as a 1st Choice Hunting Bullet.

What would you do for hunting?

I would try 80 to maybe 85 gr of Swiss 2F. That is the load I believe Idaholewis used? It all depends on what your ML likes.
