I went down and tested a few loads today. I got off the bags and shot Creedmore. The boolits he sent me weight 448 gr's and are the ones I had to use the Lee crimp die to get the checks to stay on. I used 4759, a tuft of dacron and the Fed 155 primer. I started at 24 gr's and worked to 26 gr's. 24 and 24.5 had some vertical but 25 tightened. 25.5 was a little better and at 26 gr's I got a nice 23/32" group. I kept using the same 2 targets and marked shots. I have some left and will increase for the next test.
The circled shots are 25 gr's and the ones with the arrows are 26 gr's. This boolit has a large meplat and would be super for hunting anything.
This was 50 yd's.
