Here's a pic:
Used WW with a little tin - found that casting hot (850 degrees) produced the best results. Used Hornady GC's and sized to .431" (I lapped a Lee .430" sizer die and got it to that size - if needed, I'll do it again to get it to .432"). Lubed with Lee Liq Alox - and its drying overnight before I load tomorrow.
I'm planning on loading up some over 21 grains of H110 and CCI 350's and heading to the range to run them through my Marlin 94 44Mag. with 20" barrel.
The book gives 1500 fps for the Hornady 300 XTP's with this load - I figure 1550 or 1600 fps with this cast bullet - anybody chrono this load/bullet combo?
And does anybody know the BC of this bullet? I figure .230 or thereabouts which means it should drop about 7" at 150 yards with a 100 yard zero and only be 1.5" high at 50 yards. Good hunting load. It does show drop to something like 20" at 200 though. You'd better have a laser range finder if you're planning on shooting much past 150...
Anybody shoot these and record the actual trajectory?
Hope they shoot as good for me as they do those of you that've posted The 300 XTP's did very well for me - 2 3/8" at 100 yards - which is terrific IMHO.
