Looking forward to the answers. Haven't tried cast in mine yet - XP100 w/Sinclair worked over bbl.

I've got the new Lyman 3 diameter bullet, cast up a few hundered, just haven't gotten to it yet.

I don't have any loads, but if your XP has a rechambered 7BR barrel, you may not be able to stabilize the 160-165 grainers. That's what I have been told by silhouette shooters who have used cast in the 7BR. On the other hand, you would only need them for rams, which are large targets. (I'm assuming you shoot silhouettes. If not, never mind.)

i have a shilen barrel, with the pistol being bilt by brown, i have been mostly shooting 120 gr nosler plane base & ballistic tips now, and accuracy is phonimal at 100 & 200 yards. i had the gun built in 1987 to shoot in the masters , and have hardly used it since only about 400 rounds fired in 19 years .WOW! where did the time go.

I shoot the Saeco 073, 170 grs. lubed and gas checked in the 7 BR. no trouble stabalizing in factory barrel. I use 25.5 grs. 748 for 1700 fps. Work up from there in your larger case and you should be able to find a accurate load.

Hey Mugs, Good to hear from you. I still miss the cast report in the IHMSA news.

Ditto, and thanks for the load info. I had been reluctant to buy a mold not knowing if my XP would shoot it well enough.
