Re: My new Husqvarna 146

Can recommend the NOE 286 .366 bullet mould. A friend recently bought one for his Sauer 9.3x62 and it casts great and shoots great too. Cast from 3:1 lead/linotype and using AR2208 (Varget), he drops the jacketed bullet charge 10 grains. With the jacketed bullet sight setting approx. 1.5 inches high at 100m, the cast bullet is on at 50m, and that is all that is needed for shooting feral pigs along river banks and in scrub. It hits hard and does a lot of damage. Recoil and report is easy to live with compared to the full power jacketed loads. No idea of the velocity.

I have just measured a few of the above mix, they measure .357 on the nose and .367-368 on the driving bands. NOE recently had a sale and my friend picked up a two cavity mould as above, but with hollow point, quite cheaply. Hasn't arrived yet. With the correct pins that bullet will do just about anything required, with really no difference between the 57mm and 62mm cases when using cast.
