Hi everyone!
I am new at reloading 7-30W with cast boolits. I decided to use an RCBS 145 grain mould and a Lee 130 gr mould.
Yesterday I cast 100 rounds of the RCBS and I noticed that the lead I have drop them at 157.6 grains and they end up weighing about 161 grains after gas check and lube.
What loads should I try with this arrangement. My gun is a G2 contender and the barrel is a super 14". So far, it seems to be a tack driver at 50 yards with conventional copper jacketed bullets. With the price of factory components, I am in need of a crash course in cast boolit reloads. Starting with the 7-30W.
Any successful loads out there that I can test? (min- max loads) at my own risk, of course. Thank you.
