Got a big pile of the Group Buy C350-225-FN boolits cast up & lube-sized this week. Cast of 50% Wheelweight 50% Pure Lead & water dropped they weigh 235 grains with lube & gas check installed.

I have a one pound can of RL-19 that I'd like to work with and was wondering if anybody had an idea of what would be a good starting load for the 235 grn boolit with this powder; or any other loads you might suggest?

Thanks in Advance,:Fire:

Just checked my notes and I show a load of 56grs RL-19 with my 220gr LBT gave me an average of 2088fps. This was good shooting load out of my Browning 71, I used this load to take a couple of deer, one of which I used a soft pointed LBT and the performance was unbelievable. I have been using Data 85 for my .348 powder lately, got 16lbs of it and works well. I played around with some light loads in my .348 this weekend, found 9grs of Unique gave me 1015fps and was very accurate and fun to shoot.

Later,
JW
