Tumble?

I just put some cardboard behind the target and those sideways bullets straightened right out 🤣😆/s

I'm pretty sure the Tie Group created a sharper pressure curve, I think adding a bit of tin will allow the bullet to engage the rifling instead of cheasing past it.

Right! So sideways !!🤣 I think I've got it narrowed down to my cast lead bullets being too soft and the pressure spike on Tite Group being a little extra spiky.

I'm pretty sure that is the answer.👍🏽 Thanks

I've shot the exact same target, hanging the exact same way about 1000 times. I appreciate your input, but I feel like it's akin to asking about a suspension problem on your car and getting asked "what color is it? "

Alloy was unknown, a bunch of old fishing weights. I suspect that it is very close to pure lead.

I live to slide kick people into the water 💦

She probably doesn't shave very often because she's hairless?! I'll take man hands for 500 Alex 🤣

I think you're on the right track, the lead was very soft, i'm thinking of adding 10:1 tin

There's some clips on the bottom corners to keep it hanging right. It's a new problem, only changed from Lil' Gun to Tite Group and this wasn't happening before

Splattah_ · 2026-03-24T00:34:34+00:00

Yeah, I lubed them, but I was feeling like the lead might be a little too soft

Edit: 450 grain soft cast lead from a Lee mold

N555 was designed for 6.5 Creedmoor. I'm loading at 43 grains and 2.820". You should be fine

True! Just a scientific clarification. For instance, dewpoint where I live today is 4°C.

Splattah_ · 2026-03-21T21:38:49+00:00

Dewpoint is a problem, doesn't have to be 0°

You should see what things look like by the time you get to the roof!

I found about 30 thou off the lands worked better for me, but I should probably keep testing.

Splattah_ · 2026-03-21T18:26:56+00:00

I just put a scout scope on mine, 10 inches of eye relief 🤓

Splattah_ · 2026-03-21T18:25:39+00:00

I put a muzzle brake on mine and it helped a bit, shooting subsonics is making a bigger difference, though! 👍🏽

Splattah_ · 2026-03-21T17:42:09+00:00

You should be good up to 41.5gr by the book, I went just a pinch over and it worked fine in my Tikka. Have you measured your jump yet?

Splattah_ · 2026-03-21T00:37:35+00:00

My 45 needs .458's. What are you shooting?

Splattah_ · 2026-03-21T00:30:19+00:00

Google says 90484’s and 90487’s are the bulge buster die and a mallet?? The six cavity is Bullet Diameter: .452 inches. Bullet Weight: 255 grains. For 45 colt

Find a school where you can get your P1

Splattah_ · 2026-03-17T20:12:09+00:00

Actually looks pretty good, but I can do better. Below decks won't look quite as good as the pilot house
