    Default My First Cast

    Well I shot my first cast bullets Saturday. I loaded up some for my 380 ACP and it was cool.

    They went bang and cycled perfectly. The penetrated a full 5 gallon bucket of water and through the bottom and about 2" into the dirt underneath. This was from point blank range.

    It was a great feeling know ing I took what use to be used as wheel weights and made a projectile out of it.

    The box of 100 380 ACP I have only cost me about $5.00 counting

    thats awesome! do you have pics of them before you loaded them? How big do you think you can go before the FPS is to much for them?

    From all I have read, with pistol calibers, excluding 357 mag, 44 mag and larger I can run the cast bullets full speed. the 380 is a sub 1000 FPS round anyway. I think you need gas checks after you get up around 1400 fps or so. I will post some pics in a moment
