That about says it all. I still have mine setting there on the bench waiting to cast a few hundred.

Anyone shooting the the 250 yet, what kinda groups are ya getting (velocity)?

Offhand, this boolit shoots as good as you can hold (a naked sighted lever gun) offhand at beer can targets through 80-120 yards. I shot 15 grains BlueDot with the boolit, and compared it with a LBT 250 LFN checked shot with 18.5 WC820. The LBT load shot slightly harder, yielded 1 inch higher at 100. ... felix

WC820 gives good results in my Rugers.2400 would be a good choice too.
It shoots very well for me!! ....Buck

Felix,

That's good. I wanted this for my levers at .434. But my cavities are tapered and .431 at the front band. So I have just sized this .4315 and been using it in wheelers. Never even crossed my mind to give it a whirl because I already have had negative results with other .431s. The .434 was to cut the jump. Might just have to add this to the winter testing list.
