Had great results yesterday with a load of:
IMR 700X--- 11.0gr
Lee 185gr .309 GC bullet. Water droped wheel weight.
Graf brass. Rifle primer.
50yds 3 shots touching, group size 1"
100yds 3 shots almost touching, group size 1 1/2"
96/11 with a higher front sight. I used the same sight hold for 50yds and 100yds.
Tried some shots standing at a 6" X 10" metal plate I made at 100yds. Hit 5 of 5 with no problem.
Going to try this same load in the 1911 long, 1911 carbine, K31, and 1889 next.
Yes, I know the 1889 uses shorter shells. I have 40 trimed down already.
Anyone else try this powder???? Seems to burn really clean.
