The .311 sledgehammer mold drops good looking large cavity hp slugs that weigh between 131-132 grains using wheel-weigh lead. I am shooting these out of a AirForce .308 air rifle. Full power yields 968 fps which is enough for the slug to expand to .62 caliber when fired into water. With velocity tuned down to 928 fps, I get 3 shots grouping well under 2” at 100 yds.
The only observation to note is the hollow point pins require a gentle tap to extend and drop the bullets. This could simply be a break-in condition as I’ve only had two casting sessions and maybe 400 bullets so far. Also, it could be me as this is my first hollow point mold. All in all, very happy.
Video links below for ballistic performance & accuracy. Again, these are being shot from an air rifle & not a firearm. Fire arm testing will come later.
Would I recommend? Absolutely!
Would I buy more? Absolutely!
