this is the first load I have 'worked up' to this degree for cast boolits. so, I am asking those with more knowledge for tips and to make sure I am going about this the right way. I want this to be my hunting load next season for Florida whitetail and hogs.
Boolit: NOE 188 gr 30 cal hunter
rifle: S&W I-bolt 30-06 ( after last hunting season, gets called 'The meat stick')
twice used, random 30-06 brass, neck sized
powder: varget - amount listed in writing in pictures
COL: 3.075
CCI standard large rifle primers
lead mix: 30% linotype, 70% range scrap
distance: 85 yards
results:
I think 34.0 and 34.5 were good, 35 was opening up, 36 was over the top. I plan on working the load in smaller increments as per what I wrote on the 34.0 plate. O rmaybe 33.5 to 34.5 in small increments.
Am I going about this the right way? any pointers/suggestions?
