30 BR cast bullet optimum freebore

Spook

Captured too late to be fully domesticated.
Looking to begin shooting in local cast matches and my 30 BR is shooting patterns as opposed to groups.
My thought is , it being a 15 twist, to use "light for caliber" bullets.
Does anyone have an ideal freebore dimension before I chuck it up and have at it?
I appreciate any help.

Yep, I'd look over at that forum as well. I shot a lot of .308 cast, but, a 1-10 twist so I was usually shooting heavier bullets slower.

If you want a shorter bullet I'd look at the RCBS 165SIL or the NOE 310-165-FN H3 (XCB). They should work with a 15 twist. There are some others that might also work. Look at the Cast Bullet Assn website for past match results. A lot of folks run the .30BR and show their equipment and loads.

Before I had to stop casting a .30BR was my next pick for a barrel.
