Hey all; I have a bunch of Lyman 225415 cast boolits all sized .225 and ready to go. Anyone have some pet loads to share to cut down on some of the R&D? I have Red Dot, Unique, 2400, WW 630, RL7, BLC2, IMR 3031, 4895, and WW 748. I also have the 3rd Lyman manual and a brand new "M" die. Thanks! CB.

I can't help with the powders you listed, but I use the RCBS 55 gr. GC boolit cast of straight linotype ahead of 11.5 grs. of Bluedot for 2500 fps., or 14 grs. of H-110 for 2400 fps.

These were fired in a Contender with a 10" barrel, so velocity should be higher in a longer rifle barrel.
