Hey guys,
I picked up a box of Falcon Bullets boolits to try out in my Ruger SRH. I have not loaded for this firearm yet. I'm expecting my Lee 3 die set to show up on Monday.
I've got a few good slow powders to choose from, Alliant 2400, Blue Dot, Win 296 and IMR 4227. Falcon Bullets doesn't provide load data for their boolits, but I have a few manuals to draw info from.
I don't have a mold for my SRH yet. I bought these boolits because I wanted to sort them out by diameter to determine the best fit and to see if my SRH likes the SWC design before I commit to a mold.
The boolits are a traditional SWC design, but with a bevel base. Would I be fine if I used SWC load data that would be based off of an RCBS, Lyman or Lee mold? I'll roll crimp in the cannelure as always, but not knowing if my seating depth with the Falcon boolits is taking up too much or not enough case capacity is bothering me... especially with powders like Win 296.
Any info you have on the subject would be great. Thanks.
