Well got some range time with my Marlin GBL and RD's 460-350 casted out of WW and air cooled. I loaded that bullet with 53, 52, 51 gr of H4895 and the 53 gave the best accuracy out of them all. Didn't have the chronograph with me that day so not sure how fast those babies were going. They shot just a bit over 1.5 inches at 100 yards and didn't recoil as bad as I thought they would. Actually I loved the recoil, shot 50 rounds and would have kept going, but ran out of ammo. Over all I'm very happy with it so far. This upcoming weekend will try R10 to get passed 2000 fps and hopefully keep the groups under 3 inches at 100.

Here are couple of pictures of this load fired in to the water jugs at 15 yards, looks like this will make a great all around load.

Also if any one is interested here is a video(click here) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lSN0c_3sCk&context=C48577fdADvjVQa1PpcFPIAH5s_P0wljZxSrJWMx01 ViGMdGPo83c=) of me shooting that 1.5 inch group and couple of shots at the steel plate.




P.S. Michael from Ranch Dog is a great guy to deal with. It's nice to know that there are still people out there who stand by their word/work.

What about alloy made out of 50/50 WW and lynotype? Would that make bullet to brittle?
