Cast my first boolits in my new Lee Loverin mold from the group buy.Matter of fact my first 6 cavity lLee mold ever.It was like cheating:mrgreen::mrgreen:

18.5 gr of AA 1680 works well in my Norico..Bump it up to 20 if you want to use it in an AK as well.

this is with the Lee CTL 312 160 which for some reason is dropping consistently at 165 gr....

18.5 gr of AA 1680 was the magic number for my chinese 16" barrel SKS..AK needed 19.5 to 20.0 gr YMMV

this is using the lee 312 TL boolit droping at 165 gr

cases end up in nice pile directly...

January 11th:-D

I'll be trying some different loads in the next week.

gettin ready to swap my 550 over to large primer feed and load some of these in 7.62x39...anyone got a suggested load range for 4895 without gas checks.Am I wastin my time with 2400 or 4227?

so is 4895 more likely to cycle than 2400 or 4227 in non gas checked 160 gr Lee tumble lube boolits?

My SKS is 16" version

Hmmm.I'm gonna try some 2400 loads,but better have a plan for 4895 or H335 if the rifle doesn't cycle..

Was going to pick up some 4895 next week anyway..

would either of you care to part with...
