12.7X44R boolit weight & diameter

[curmudgeon]

What commercial boolit weight & diameter is currently used in the Swede 12.7X44R Rollers for 200yd. accuracy?

Thanks

By commercial, I mean boolits that you can buy from a manufacturer/vendor.

This will be a black powder load.

I use a Lee 515-450

By "commercial" do you mean commercially cast and sold? I'm using my Lyman 509134 360 grain Round nose plain base as cast (.507), but haven't had the time to get her to the 200 yard range (too many irons and only one fire). Also, are you asking for BP? I don't use smokeless in this old roller.

I dont know what the origional load was but after shooting lots of Lyman 340 gr .515 boolits we found that the Lee 450 gr was the accurate way to go. and sized to .510 as well. ( .515 seems to really sqeeeeze it down goin through the barrel )

The Lee 450 grain at 100 yards. 2" five shot group. :smile:

I remember when I could see open sights without any problem, but it has been some years - OK about 3 decades.

All are BP!
