I worked up equivalent charges to obtain the desired velocity ranges with modern powders, which provide a sound basis for loading cast bullets in any post-1898 military rifle from 7mm to 8mm:ġ. Four load classifications from Mattern (1932) cover all uses for the cast bullet military rifle. If a particular load will not work well without a filler, the powder is not suitable for those conditions of loading. This was once common practice, but it raises chamber pressure and under certain conditions contributes to chamber ringing. Nothing is more frustrating than a military rifle that shoots a foot high at 100 yards with surplus ammo when the sight is as low as it will go! Do not use inert fillers (Dacron or kapok) to take up excess empty space in the case. Here's the classic standard work for starting shooting military smokeless firearms with cast boolits by E Harris.Ĭast bullets can make shooting that surplus rifle easy and economical.Īnd basic data works for many different guns.Ĭast bullet loads usually give a more useful zero at practical field ranges with military battle sights than do full power loads. I'd suggest having a read of the following regarding the use of cast boolits, 4.9gr of Viht N310 with a cast 115gr boolit gives around 980fps and is a very nice proven cast load.
