Mebe someone'll care:
250 Savage sage rat load
Leftoverdj 80 grain pb @ .260"
Tumble lubed with j-wax and alox
Cheddite LR primer
About 3.2 grains IMR PB dipped with 22 stinger dipper
AOL 2.255"
Gives me around 1000 fps give or take about 50 fps
depending on how you dip and powder position.
Yes it is position sensitive but I get minute of squirrel
head accuracy off the back porch up to at least 50 yards
with my 14" twist 99 Savage with 4x Weaver.
Pretty quiet also.
Regards, Woody

I have this same mould in the gas check version .

Casts very very well with straight WW's . However ...............................

I like to size and lube all my bullets in one of my Lyman 4500's . And I have yet to find a top punch that doesn't mark the heck out of the nose :???:

Outstanding! I have both PB and GC versions of this mold. You've recreated the 25 Stevens. Add 200 fps and you've got the 25 Stevens Long. Another 2-300 and you've got the 25-20, another 200 and the 25-20 HV. Is that cool or what?!
