I am considering buying one of these rifles to shoot cast bullets. Anyone here own one or have any details on what I should expect.
Thanks,

i have one in .223 and one in 22-250... i love em. I would like to get one in .308 also
The thing I like about this rifle is the 1/10" twist. My other .308's have a 1/12"
I want one also. Going to a local guns show tomorrow, I'm hoping.......
These rifles are big with the Cast bullet association for benchrest competition .They use the Lyman 311299 bullet that weighs about 200 grs .This gun is at the top of my list.
Though not a cast shooter for rifles, Savages are great as you can do all your own work on them. Might be interesting to hear how many cast 308 loads it takes to burn a throat out
They obliterated ALL the CBA records for factory rifles within a year of introduction in 308. It was so bad, that they rulebooked them into almost their own class.
Mine will be here on Thursday........ Yeah
No I am looking for some suggestions on a stable boolit. I was thinking about buying a few from the guys on the forum to try before I purchase a mold. I do have an lyman 311041gc to try. Don't have any dies nor a scope....
