    Lee tumble lube boolets

    I asked in the coating thread about PC of Lee tumble lube boolets.
    I have a mold of 310/160gr TL.
    Forrest r showed the same boolet, pc, and a target. Great group.
    I cast some up and pc them.
    Loaded a box each of the TL and regular boolets.
    TL was 310/160, regular one was 310/155 2R.
    Both GC and same powder load. IMR4198.
    Those TL boolest shot much better than the regular boolets.
    50yds about the same, but at 100yds, the TL grouped at least an inch better.
    Almost as good as Forrest r target.
    Could be the extra weight, but I'm thinking it was the TL.
    Have to play with the load some more, but it shows promise.
    Rifle is a SR 96/11, 7.5 Swiss.

    Thanks for the info, I have been wanting to try this boolit in .308.
    I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!

    I've been shooting the Lee, 358-158 TL for several years now. Tumble lubed with the Lee alox/mineral spirits 50-50. They are as accurate as I am and no leading in the barrel.

    If I understood the OP correctly, he wasn't shooting tumble lube design bullets with LLA but Tumble lube designed bullets that were powder coated.
