I had a few of these cast up and loaded in LC Match brass with 10g of red dot. Shooting my old sporterized Model 1917 (1-12 twist, 30-06) with an old weaver K-10 scope at 50 yds gave me some pretty decent accuracy.
Scope was zeroed at 200yds with Federal Match 168 gr ammo, didn't want to mess with scope settings..
Cast with WW, tumbled with alox, gas checked and sized .309.
10 shot group at 50 yds.

Sweet
Your new squirrel and rabbit thumper.
Good shooting !
Did you use a filler?
Very nice. Definitely a squirrel rifle load.
I noticed a few decades back that that bullet seemed to be Verals 35-185 fn downsized. It shoots even if it doesn't engrave.

It is also my favorite for my 10" Contender in 32/20.
Same load?
Me too.

only to God and my own conscience.
I feel really dumb for asking... What caliber?
If I had to guess, .30-06
Maybe .308????

Sounds like it has been rebarreled from the twist rate.
Yes, 30-06. New barrel for the old Model of 1917 but with 1-12 twist.
9 gr of 2400 is my favorite but I am switching to either Bullseye or 4198 since 2400 is now made of unobtainium. My Contender 32/20 seems to like an MV of about 1300-1350 with that boolit.
Very nice! Don't you just love it when something work out great? Nice shooting!
2400 is available now at our local Bi-Mart. Do you guys have the Bi-Mart chain up in Quilcene?

I like this because I have recently bought that same mold. By the way that is a wonderful looking 1917.

Is this clamped in a sled or from your shoulder?
Very nice shooting.
