The Remington 300g bullet shoots with the same accuracy as well. Both under an inch at 100yds.
This powder is what got me into casting. I have so much of it and it works so well in the 45-70, I decided to try the RCBS 300g GC bullet. They came out at a finished 325g with checks fitted and ben's red lube added. Over a full load of AA2200 they shot as well as the 300g jacketed bullets, with no leading. I actually sold off all my Hornady bullets as I was so impressed with the cast bullets. I tried alloy mixes, even pure lino, but found WDWW more than adequate. Accuracy was still good down to 48g of powder.

Bird,

Appreciate the good info!

I did notice that I neglected to include the charge weight for the 400g Speer boolet, that's been edited in.
