I shall make smoke and report back in doo course
Easily bamboozeled these days (twas never much of a challenge anyway)
Mr Coffinmaker ...here 'tis ....my effort to prove a point ....think we should call this one a draw - the house got all our bet money !
You reckoned heavy boolit would shoot higher - I bet it would go lower
Loaded 20 rounds Remmy brass, Federal Large Rifle primers, all with 37.5 grains of BP, no wads no grease cookie,
10 got the Cast Boolit Engineering 225 grain Flatnose 10 got the LEE 429 x200 which at my place weighs in around 205 to 208 grains depending on what I had for breakfast on that casting day.
Shooting at 50 yards, fired alternately onto two targets side by side CBE- 1,3,5,7,9 on LH ----LEE - 2,4,6,8,10 on RH
1 and 2 cold barrel shots low - the CBE shots are strung vertical (could be my eyes - sights are not ideal and I dont see em real well anymore) , LEE 4.6.8.10 makes a better group - but center it all and there looks no appreciable difference in height of the strike at 50 yards - between the two different boolit weights
Then I went and fired five more of the LEE, walked up and checked, back, fired five more of the CBE so that made 20 all up - neither of these boolits hold near enough lube for BP and that shows clear on this target - the first ten went ok - but the last five was more of a buckshot splatter than anything else.
This is a 66 Uberti 24" rifle - - its my "how fast can ya go gun" -- run it hard and I can get 15 to 18 shots at 25 yards using the CBE boolit without fouling bad - this is a one minute event - we start standing clear, gun empty, load and fire as many as you can, no race guns have appeared yet, 20 guys on the line at once firing full throttle black loads was kinda fun. (we got old! down to about ten these days)
ooops - the cardboard is two feet wide - ignore the big hole in the middle
