Just cast a bunch of these guys up today. .45 cal, about 310gr. Where would be a good place to start for charge. I was using about 70gr of ffg with some 230gr bullets, and it was very accurate. But seeing as these are a bit heftier I was wondering what would be a good starting point.
45 or 50 gr and work up.
Aim small, miss small!
Thanks.
.310 and .405 and .500 grain .457 DIA. bullets, I use 70 GRS. of 2FG or 3FG for all of them. not a HICCUP at all.
