1X mixed brass

Lee 312-155-2R drops a little wide at the base and 160gr
Cast COWW smelted at home
Sized to .310" and Sage's gas checks installed
Home made lube
A5744 14.5gr

I did some drilling on the Lynman top punch to see if I can get it to stop distorting the point. I did all the brass prep, casting, lubing, gas checks, everything today.

I have access to one I built and sold to a buddy but don't expect much from me on empirical testing. I actually had one unfired when I built those loads but sold it too since....unfired still.

Re: What Rifle Reloading Did You Do Today?
Sorry - I did not see the posts about Moeller´s brass bullets until now.
He has a website: http://lutzmoeller.net/It is in German but you can get the gist through electronic trabslation. His bullets are expensive at EUR 150 pr. 100, as I recall.
Moeller is a physicist and a passionate hunter. He is not in this to get rich and does not advertise as far as I know. He continually works to improve his design - which is probably not good for stable business. His latest version is the Flitzer:

You can load his bullet data into your QuickLoad from here: http://lutzmoeller.net/Munition/QuickLOAD.php

That's right. But he also is a very controversial person, with very controversial ideas about the "best" bullet, and reloading in general.snaginn wrote:He is not in this to get rich and does not advertise as far as I know.
His website mainly consists of emails he received and his answers. Very difficult to read.

Re: What Rifle Reloading Did You Do Today?
What i-should be relevant here are Moeller´s hunting bullets and their performance.
Their main features are:
-brass
-drive bands
-light weight
-controlled break-up of cone section
-little to no deformation of remaining cylinder
-computer controlled manufacture
Moeller claims that this results in:
-high velocity
-high
-exceptional penetration
-outstanding terminal ballistics
-outstanding uniformity/accuracy
As far as I can see these claims are borne out by experience.

I bet my dad has shot a thousand game animals & feral hogs in his lifetime with Rem Core-Lokts & Hornady Interlocks. I still don't get it.

An excellent point: you cannot be any deader than dead even if it is by an arrow. Nevetheless...
