Casted Zinc Bullets / 450 BM
Posted: Sun Aug 23, 2020 5:59 pm
I cast my own bullets for my 450BM. My go-to for hogs, deer here in Texas is a RCBS 45-300-FN gas checked pushing about 1640 fps.
I am starting to mess around casting zinc in the same mold. the drop weight on these will be around 180-190g. I know zinc is a lot harder so I will be able to push these at "jacketed' speeds but I know expansion will probably stink.
Any thoughts?
