Hi all, has anyone any experience of shooting cast boolits in 303 at long range (300 - 900 yards)? A lot of what I've read on here seems to be up to 100 yards but is there any reason not to shoot out to distance?
My thought process is as follows -
1. There are no UK based suppliers of 303 fmj with a FLAT bottom bullet (I.e. Mk vii which by all reports suits 303 barrels better than boat tails).
2. The only way to replicate this and get a snug fit is to slug your barrel and then size cast accordingly with gas check.
3. That being the case you have something that should fit in the barrel (and grooves) well.
4. So the only limiting factor will be muzzle velocity (assuming somewhere around 1900fps instead of 2440 for Mk vii fmj) which can be compensated for by increased elevation? The black powder guys at Bisley shoot out to 1000 yards and they are only shooting lead....
Has anybody any thoughts or experience on this please??
