This is from my 6.5, shot at a little over 100yds with 129g SST going 2980fps. I was surprised it passed through being a fragmenting bullet and all. The initial splatter was where hit and where the stump is in the background with my gun is where she died. Maybe 10yards. I have no complaints.
Like the title thread says, tried casting for my first time and it was a failure. Tried a few different ways from slowly pouring to compression casting and tried different lead temps from 775-825 and nothing seems to be working out. Bullet weights are very inconsistent as well as base fillout as...

Long time viewer but finally made an account, tons of great info on this site for the benefit of everyone. That said I have been following forms drop eval for quite some time, very informative and practical for just about anyone who can have a risk of dropping their rifle.
Can you still suggest...
