- Our first attempt at the cast Lee 225-55 in 223 Remington for the new to me Howa 1500. Using some load data from a very old Lyman manual, as well as their newer cast load hand book. Shot at 50 yards.

You ROCK, i have been looking for anything like 700x in a rifle, finally you did it.
Thanks. Not a great showing, but with some charge weight changes you could probably find something your gun likes. 700x is one of my favorites for cast loads, but I've been trying out a lot of Red Dot lately. Have a great weekend 👍🤠🇺🇲
Great loading and shooting you did. Your chronograph is nice that it verbally tells you the reading.
Not too bad for some random charges from a way old Lyman book. I quite enjoy my chronograph for the older light sensor type. It can BT to the app on my phone to store data, as well as make charts and graphs and such that you can email yourself to share or print out if desired.
Heck yea holmes
Yessir!
4227 promising
Yessir!
Did you use a filler?
No filler
Good shooting DR! Looks like you have some great loads started there.
Not bad for random!
Holy smokes I need IMR 4227 good shooting DR
It seems like a very accurate powder most of the time I've tried it. Thanks!
Man thats a good load you worked uo there D.R. i have a heavy barrel Savage in .223 1/9 you got my wheels turning! I got the imr 4227 also just need a mold. Good shootin!
Not too bad for some random charges. You should give it a try, I think there are 2 and 6 cavity versions in stock at most online places these days. Thanks and good luck!
@@DummyRound right on, i love the 6 cavity molds, they help make time for other chores lol, take care and be safe!
Yep. They sure do make quick work of it!
Looks like a great time! 4227 is an accurate powder. I got Monday and Tuesday off I might make a video.
Yessir! Going to keep working up a bit with it. You best be makin' more videos! lol
@@DummyRound Ik right! Just been gone a lot due to work but I’ll sneak something in haha
What is the twist rate on the rifle
This is a 1/9 twist. I'm pretty sure my 1/7 would look worse. Just got some aluminum GCs from Sages but need to cast up another batch of these.
And the boolit goes oh snap! That's some tiny grouping there! Oops there's the flyer.
Always some flyers!
@@DummyRound there's always that one guy. Yeah don't worry about him! It was a temporal distortion in the Earth's gravity which caused it to drop a little more. I get them all of the time here. JK. Not dissin baby! What was the twist rate?
Oh and I'm drooling on that rifle. 👍 Very nice. Remington receiver?
You have some good ones going for you .
Not too bad for some random charges. It'll get harder when I go back to the AR and try to find a load.
@@DummyRound Yep , sane people would stick to a bolt action with cast 223 . lol . I've tested several loads in my AR . I left the bench rest scratching my head on a few loads the other day . I 'd get a 1 inch ish group , then the next charge .5 higher would be a scattergun group . The next .5 higher would go back to a 1 inch . I'm not sure what was going on there ?
I'll see how much accuracy we can squeeze out of the bolt gun, then switch over to the AR. What kind of alloy are you using? I think these are mostly lino and some range scrap. These came out to 52gr so they're on the harder side.
@@DummyRound I'm using COWW's that I water quenched . I may have got some soft ones mixed in ? Or the barrel may have got too hot ? Even my tried and true 1850 fps cast load started slinging bullets . I fired some jacketed at the gong and they did good . So I don't think it was the gun or scope ? I'm about to check the bore for possible leading ? It's a mystery right now as the hottest I was running these was 2200 fps with CFEblk .
@@jamespollard1670 Sounds kinda crazy! Casting for this cartridge is definitely a challenge.
♥️🇺🇸🤟🏽. Keep Cool brother!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤟🏽
It's been hot out!
@@DummyRound
Good groups with 14/4227!
Nice video ! Did you cast with range scrap and gas check ? Nice color btw 👍
I don't know exact hardness, but something like 2/3 lino and 1/3 range scrap. No GC at this point. Got lucky on the color, just mixed Eastwood Ford Light Blue and Ruby Red. Thanks!
