Re: Boolits
1000's? OK, you deserve a drink :)
Do you do anything suitable for a No4 Mk1 that will work to 1000 yards and with the right load could give similar drops to MkVII Ball?

Re: Boolits
Really depends on your rifles throat measurements, the K11's are notoriously short throated so you need a good bore riding design that meets groove and bore diameters well to get the weight.
You need to slug your bore and impact cast the throat.
Then when you have those measurements for your rifle you can meaningfully ask for a suitable boolit.

Re: Boolits
Idge, slugging is a very simple process and I have some soft lead slugs sized and ready to go, I can pop a few in the post if you want to have a go.

Re: Boolits
well thanks dromia but i was "meaningfully" asking for a suitable boolit but seeing as i dont have any experiance in the area the advice is also what i need , i have slugged a bore before so i did my k11 today and it turned out at .308 5 dont have the ability to chamber cast though .

Re: Boolits
Thats a start, if you can slug a bore then you can do an impact cast.
