Another round of testing the Lyman 311413 in the 1891 Argentine Engineer Carbine - this time with increased powder charges.

Trying out the Lyman 3118 cast bullets that Mike Treen sent to me in the 1891 Argentine Engineer Carbine.

A while back, Mike Treen sent me a batch of his cast bullets to try - some very nicely cast Lyman 3118! This bullet is typically used in .32-20, and Mike suggested I try them in 300 AAC Blackout. I've finally done something with a portion of the bullets...

Last Fall, the powder coated plain base NOE 314-162-FN cast bullet showed promise in my 1891 Argentine Cavalry Carbine. I prepared more bullets to try in the 1891 Argentine Engineer Carbine, along with a small batch of powder coated Lyman 311291 cast bullets.

Further evaluation the pointy Lyman 311413 cast bullet in 7.65x53 Argentine Mauser, fired at 25 yards from two additional rifles - my 1891 Argentine Long Rifle, and everyone's favorite Argentine Mauser - Dirty Tina.

"I'd like to see what happens with an extra grain of powder in the carbine" - westcovinadodge A quick V/R to westcovinadodge - it appears that 17.0 grains of Alliant 2400 is on the edge!

The first trip to the range with my 1891 Argentine Engineer Carbine with a pitted bore.

The first shots fired from an 1891 Argentine Engineer Carbine with a pitted bore.

You're an Engineer's Carbine with worn out blue, The lands of your bore are pitted too... It's true... Now what am I to do? Strange blue, kill what's inside of you.
