Hello all,
A while ago, a member sent me a box of 430gr boolits to try out (Accurate mold 460-430 VG). I was finally able to get to the range yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. To date, about 1.5" groupings have been the best that I could get from this rifle....but not anymore. The load I used is as follows:
New R-P brass
CCI 200 primer
40grs IMR 3031
430gr WFNGC sized at .460 and lubed with TAC (water dropped WW from Accurate Molds 460-430VG)
COAL 2.53 (hits the lands in my gun)
I was testing for accuracy, so I didn't chronograph anything. Recoil was pretty stiff I went up to 44grs, but the recoil loosened the screws on my scope mount, so I called it quits for the day and decided 40grs worked good enough for me.
Attached is a picture of the grouping, and one of the boolits next to a 124gr 9mm.
