    Smith Bullets

    Being new to the Smith (Dixie Pietta), are you all using pure lead bullets or wheel weights in your castings? Also, I know that Dixie's bullets are cast from the Rapine mold, but what other molds in .515 have yielded good results?

    Oscar,

    Use pure lead with Rapine mold. I am shooting 27 grains of FFF powder with cream of wheat filler. This combination has given me good results over the years.
