Hi All,
I cast my first bullets yesterday. I had a great time once I got my bottom pour pot to stop dripping. I cast with a RCBS 35-200-FN gas checked and some with an old Lyman 35870 which is a 150 grain nose pour flatnose with a concave base. The RCBS dropped at .359 with WW and the Lyman dropped at .360, so I did not size them. I tumble lubed them with Liquid Alox. I have two older Ballard-rifled Marlin 35 Remingtons, one is a 336-A that slugs .358 and the other is a 336-SC that slugs .3585. I have on hand some IMR-4198 and also some 3031. I was wondering if anyone can recommend some loads for these boolits and powders.
Thanks,
BorderBrewer
