I loaded up some different low velocity cast loads for my 03/A3 the other day and my son made an interesting observation. The loads were as follows:
1. 165 RCBS silouette bullet with 25 gr IMR 4895
2. 165 RCBS silouette bullet with 14.5 gr Alliant Power pistol
3. 165 RCBS silouette bullet with 15 gr Alliant Power pistol
My son noticed that when I shot the 4895 load that the dacron filler shot out of the barrel looking like dandelion pods, but the power pistol load did not produce any such effect. Any theories? On cleaning the rifle, I couldn't notice any appreciable difference in the bore. I used 1.1 gr of filler in all the loads.
