discovery00 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'm looking into starting to reload cast bullets for my #4 Mk2 Lee Enfield. I have been looking at the advice on castboolits etc but would appreciate advice from experienced people. I fire on a 100m range so I would be happy with a target round for this range. The barrel slugged out at 0.314. Can anyone recommend a bullet mould suitable for the barrel diameter and load data to go with it. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Right, first do not get a bullet mould yet. Buy some cast bullets from this bloke to start with http://www.tfsa.co.uk/index.html and take his advice on loads I would recommend 12grains of Unique. Casting your own bullets for a rifle is like trying to learn to swim by jumping in the deep end. Have you cast bullets before? have you any source of very hard alloy? Its all possible but one step at a time, Edited June 7, 2013 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discovery00 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 My experience is limited to casting lead ball, I can appreciate bullets are a whole different ball game. Thanks for the link I'll have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbuss Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) I'd be interested to see how you get on with this. I reload for a No4 but with jacketed bullets. I've been thinking of having a go at casting for it. I used to cast pistol bullets yonks ago, but sold my lead pot and all the gear like a numpty :( Edited June 8, 2013 by Blunderbuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Getting hold of good hard alloy for casting rifle bullets is getting difficult now, bordering on impossible. But buying them is not too expensive try contacting this man rogerjeffries04@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
