Thanks for the load suggestions guys!
Cast up about 90 of the 350 500 GC boolits, they weighed in at 340 when checked lubed and sized. WW's just air cooled. Not sorted or wt'd for consistency just picked the best ones and shot em up.
Tested 3 loads
Lilgun 39 gr
BlueDot 22 gr
Unique 15 gr
Shot at 50 yards.
Lilgun what a STOUT shooter! It would rock you good, we discovered that the eye relief on the scope is a BIT short.... no big gouges in the eyebrow, but my glasses ticked the front of the scope a time or two...
This load shot 1" at 50 yards but 6" low, and no L or R.
Bluedot was a milder load, not nearly as big a punisher as the Lilgun, but it was fairly brisk. No worries on the scope eye with this one. It shot zero L and R but 3" high.
Unique, was a tad milder than the Bluedot, but not by much. It shot zero L and R and 3" high at 50 yds too. Printed right next to the Bluedot load.
My friend who's gun it is was very pleased with the bullets and performance. He is the one who bought the mould, I just cast em, check, size and lube them for him. He loads and shoots them.
He is looking forward to using the Bluedot load on deer this year.
It's amazing how much lead and lube you can go through in a hurry with these big boolits!
