Finally have a cast boolit load that shoots in my Colt Combat Elite! The Lee 230 grain truncated cone, tumble lube over 4.5 grains of Tightgroup.
Function is flawless...the brass winds up in a neat little pile beside me and it shoots like a LASER! I had no trouble hitting two inch tagets on the back berm at 25 yards offhand.
Oh and no leading either :-P
Boolits were cast hot (8 on a lee pot) and fast from a six-banger, air cooled and lubed with 45-45-10. The boolets just fall out of the mould, no tapping or banging required...
I haven't run them across the chrony yet but I estimate that they are zipping along somewhere in the 830 fps range.
I am SOOOO happy!
