The RNFP were loaded with 20.7 gr by volume (and if you're into it, 14 gr by weight of APP and 19 gr of BP, using the 1.3 cc deeper by Lee, I'm also aware of the "by volume" loads with BP and substitutes) and the SWC with 15.9 gr by volume (11 gr by weight of APP and 14 gr of BP, using the 1.0 cc deeper by Lee). The different loads was to allow a 1/16 compression. Nice rounds, very mild recoil very accurate at 10 and 15 yards. Talking about been able to see the bullet, my buddy and I were able to shoot, run to the target and move it to were the bullet was flying to so we averaged 3 inch, six round groups, 24 round per type of bullet! Verdict...those bullets will kill...!!
