Hi Everyone,
First off wanted to mention that I have been reading this forum for a while now and have learned a ton, so thanks for the info. I have only been shooting a few years but it has grown into an addiction, naturally this turned into the addiction to reloading and then casting. I have a free steady supply of wheel-weights so casting is the cheap way to go to support my hobby. One of the old guys at my local club swears by his 38 super and has let me try it a few times, which lead my father to buy a brand new Kimber Stainless target 2, we tried 3 or 4 types of factory ammo and couldn't seem to find acceptable accuracy. After reading lots on this forum it lead me to think that it could be from undersized bullets in the factory loads. So off to the loading bench I went, I had some lyman 358311 boolits cast from air cooled clip on wheel weights sized to .357 and lubed with dragon bullet lubes yellow dragon lube. (I slugged the bore and used a micrometer, they measured out a .3555) the load was 4.4gr of unique (the only powder I had data for) accuracy was a bit better but in my eyes still very bad. 20 yards offhand not getting all shots on a 12x12 inch piece of paper (I am not that great of a shot but I know I'm not that bad) A friend suggested using a load of 4.0gr 231 (will try them later this week) do you guys have any other suggestions for me to try, I am beginning to believe its the gun that's the issue but I've never had a problem with a kimber and the gun seems tight. Any ideas are appreciated.
P.S I did load a boolit and pull it and remeasured them still .357
