1903 & Cast Bullets?
#359575 - 23/12/21 12:43 AM

Who out there has cast bullets and reloaded their 6.5x54?

I know that the 160 RN jacketed is THE bullet - but what have people found with cast?

I haven't done it with a 6.5, but with a good lube you can run up to 2,300fps just fine.
I used LBT Blue. Not sure it's still on the market, but I ran 2,700fps with MOA in my .375 with 270gr. cast, using Blue.
