guys i have absorbed some stuff from most of you. i read a ton of what is posted.
i perfer rifle powder in rifle loads, but i do listen.
i took this boolit gc at 180, ww, water quenched, sized 325, apache blue lube cause i still have some. r-p cases, rem 9 1/2 primers, all boolits seated at 3.0 with a lee hand loader, no crimp. slight engrave, frim bolt close.
rifle is a preduce44/mauser 98 rerowned and 4x weaver mounted. i shot the 2400/16 load at 50yds to get on paper as the rifle had been sited in at 200 with 150 jacketed. i then shot the 16.5/17.0 loads at 100yd but the wind started kicking up. we shoot across a stream bed from 50 to 100, so i moved the target back in to 50 where a berm cuts the wind a bit. all in all a good day.
red dot as a bunch have reccomended
12.5 1512 fps 3 in .5 but two flyers making 1.5 for 5
13.0 1559 fps 3 in .5 1.2 for 5
13.5 1570 fps 5 in .7.....a keeper fer sure
4227-- i got from sundog's 06 load
20.5 1624 3 in one hole 5 in .6.....another keeper
21.0 1651 4 in .5 and i pulled the 5th for 5 in 1.2....another keeper
21.5 1733 3 in .7 , 5 in 1.7....
2400 as listed by a bunch
16.0 1456 4 in one hole...maybe .4 ,5 in .8 the first shot cold was a tad out..lol
*16.5 1486 3 in 1in, 5 in 1.7( shooting at 100 in stiff winds)
*17.0 1526 3in 1.2, 5 in 2.7(shooting at 100 in stiff winds)
a good boolit with lots of possibilities.

I ran some patches thru the bore , first cause i like getting powder fouling out, but in this case to see what leading there might be.
a few slivers of lead.......that was all....this was a total of 49 rounds with 4 different powders...( 4 plinking shots with varget added to 15 each of the three above)
i gotta try this with the 311284 in the 03a3...........
