    Cast a bunch of 150 grain Lee slugs, and unfortunately the nose on them is fatter than the 170. The 170's are around .300-.302, the 150's are .303-.305. Haven't loaded any yet so I don't know if this is going to be a problem, however I suspect it will. Is this typical of the 150?

    Not my best work shooting. It's a cold day in Texas so maybe I shivered. These are .309"- I've yet to cast & size both boolits to .311" to try in the Marlin. I've had no problems with the nose on either weight. 40yds 1/2" targdot.

    Very nice! My rifles do about the same with 17 grains IMR SR4759.
