New Alloy

[Don McDowell]

Kurt it's the Bn. It's interesting to mess with. The recoil is a bit to deal with. This rifle is a #1 with a standard weight 30 inch barrel. A limbsaver slip on pad tames it down real well. I got into trouble with it at Byers, as I was shooting once fired cases, with the same powder charge as the unformed cases.. Should of grabbed a clue when I noticed the fouling being heavier.. Long story short, with brand new cases 90 gr. of OE 1f under the BACO 396 410 gr patched bullet shoots scary good. What if figured out after it was to late, I should of jumped that charge up 4 gr. to accommodate the fire formed cases. But I haven't been able to prove that theory out yet, the weather just won't give me a break to wring it out at 1000.
The fire formed cases loaded with that patched bullet looks pretty sexy, sort of like a 270 on steroids.
