I gave some boolits to a good friend in Idaho recently. Old ideal mould 31141. I had sized and checked them and lube was some I made long ago, had some bear fat in it, beeswax and other slippery stuff. He then coated them with LLA.
Now for the good part. He told me on the phone that he was getting less than an inch five shots at a hundred and and one and seven eights at two hundred yards. I said, Fantastic, he said is that good? His first time for boolits in a rifle.
The load is 44 grains of IMR 4831 in GI cases. The rifle is an old worn Winchester model 88 .308. I remember the serial number on the rifle is 426. Has a Burris 3-9 scope.
He said they clocked right at 2200 fps. Those might take a deer or antelope, ya think?
The boolits were cast of 5 pounds WW to 1 pound lino. Air cooled.

Life is good
