    The OD of the BPI RSS is only 0.712”. That’s too loose. Need at least 0.725”, 0.732” would be better.

    Ballistic Coefficient of a Lyman 525

    Does anyone know the ballistic coefficient of a Lyman 525 slug cast with pure lead? The ones I cast weigh about 506 grains. I assume the BC is around 0.10.
