It was forecasted to be nice this week, and loaded up some more test rounds for the .30-40 AI Martini. It has been accurately shooting pretty much any fast powder, lower speed cast load and I wanted to try some loads closer to full power. I loaded up some work ups with IMR-4350 and the last 50 311284's sent to me by a good member here. Right off I new I did not flare the cases enough, but I would have been rushed if I stopped and started over. Little sliver of lead on each one, and I figured the groups would open up. The target in the pic makes me wonder what it would have done with no shaving. Groups opened up after this one but started to close back up on my last 2, 45 and 45.5gr. 5 shot group at 50 yards .30-40 AI with a 16 BHN 311284 sized .311" over 43 gr of IMR-4350, and probably to time to move over to the 100yd line and get a chrono:
