I'm new to reloading but not to firearms. I recently discovered 100s of discarded 50 BMG rounds in a local lake and suspect there might be 1000s down there. I purchased a 45/70 and have an idea that I want to turn down the 50 BMG bullets to run through the 45/70 loaded in the 45/70 cases. I also want to try casting copper bullets then drilling out the core and filling them with lead and possibly adding tungsten tips. Poor mans anti vehicle rounds. Im wondering if you have hear of someone trying this before. Of coarse the rounds have to loaded one at a time in my Henry.

First a made a steel bullet at .300 on my <br />Lathe and now I melt copper tubing pour just enough in to fill 1/4 of the mould put my mould into a press I made that hold the steel in place like a jig of sorts and press with a hand press into the mould while its molten and after cooled I pull them out and melt the lead or filler I've used plastic anything softer and lower melting point than copper and pour into the jackets then throw on a glass check lube and run through the sizing die relube and bam the glass check is left on impact but the solid tip provides excellent penetration I've even used one of my steels with a 1/64 pin on it to make hollow point jackets for my 308 and hold a 1 moa at 400yds with a Mossberg and BTW don't buy a Mossberg unless you plan on making your own stock mag and replacing the barrel for tight groups Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6184394820806303594.post-57032535343616609382013-06-06T03:56:43.168-06:002013-06-06T03:56:43.168-06:00Sorry, I didn't see this until today, and i ca...Sorry, I didn't see this until today, and i can't seem to reply to a comment from my desktop.<br /><br />Corbin is one of the biggest names in this area.<br /><br />http://www.corbins.com/index.htm<br /><br />That link should be good place to start if you want to do it for real and not just write about it.Bill The Scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439409254694783042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6184394820806303594.post-61213894693263140402013-06-03T16:39:21.881-06:002013-06-03T16:39:21.881-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700399018947406645noreply@blogger.com
