Found a single cavity mold on the Lee closeout site. 1st Lee mold I have had that cast a good looking boolit and the firsr batch had over half right on 203.5 gr, w/the remainder about a grain or 1 1/2 grain lighter.

Anyone used this boolit w/good results. I am setting it up w/21.3 gr (thats what the powder measure settled on) IMR 4227, R-P brass and WLR primers.

Thanks

Don

Thanks. I can do that. Does it group and any idea of velocity?

I am using teflon tape on this batch and will post when I get some results. Might be awhile as i may have used up my yard leave.

Yup $14 and $4 for shipping to Las Vegas. AND the boolits look good w/consistant weight. If it will shoot.....

The cheap $$$ is only for the single cavity, which is what I like as I am a dipper

I had good luck with that boolit. It'll shoot well if it fits you gun.

Hi Seabreeze,

I have used 25.5 gr. RX-7 (what the Lee measure threw) with a 210 gr. boolit-the Lyman 311290 and got great accuracy with it. I have used the Lee 180 grainer and thught it was a pretty good deal.

I use that H-335 in .30-30 as per Felix's load advice & it's the mostest accuratist load in my .30-30.

Works well otu of anything with a long throat in my experience- Swiss 1889, 1911, Krag, etc.

I'm using it with a case full of WC-860 and a mag cap I get about 2150 to 2200 fps and it shoots a lot better than it should , I mean I don't weigh bullets or anything special and got 5 under m.o.a. that's almost to good to be true but it's a dandy. James
