Can't remember, but think this is Ranch Dog's GB mold.
44 Mag
RNFP Plain Base
Sized 0.431" Cast from WWs, 251 grains without lube
FWFWL
Taper crimp to bottom crimp groove
The powder is Bartlett's WC820(f) (HS-7 load data according to Bartlett)
Starline Brass
WLP
Distance 25 yards (too lazy to set up my 50 yard bench)
Ruger RedHawk 7.5" barrel
12.0 1.0X1.0
12.5 1.0X1.5
13.0 1.5X2.375
13.5 1.5X1.5
14.0 0.75X1.0
14.5 0.75X1.5 (4 in 0.75X0.75, I think I pulled the one)
15.0 2.25X2.125
15.5 1.5X1.5 (9 shots)
I shot 16 and 16.5 tonight (10/16) but was rushed and in the rain so groups suffered or were just poor anyway. Tomorrow it will be 17 and creep on 17.5, maybe Chrono data on a couple of loading points.
These are all Outside to Outside measurements.
Shooting was off of a rest and the pace was pretty fast for target work.
NO chrono data.
