Loads for the .256 Win. Mag. Cast Bullets in Contender

[donald duck]

Does anyone have advice using 65 grain Lyman cast bullet with GC? I enjoy loading and shooting this little gem. Have been using 5.0 grains or a little less of WSF, PB, 231, and a few other pistol powders. Appreciate you feedback. Also 5.0 grains WAP works great.

I advise you to shoot lots... I've always wanted a 256 Wm just never been in the cards. seems like it would be a nice replacement for 22lr/mag for varmints given current supply.

I have been using that boolit with about 4.5 to 6 grs of w231. I have also use a couple of different j words but so far accuracy isn't what I had hoped for. My best groups so far have been about 1 1/2 " at 50yds. I have a new mold from NOE that casts at about 85grs that I need to try but I don't think I'm going to get much range time in the next few months. I have a Win 92 in 25/20 with a rough bore that shoots the lyman 65gr around 1 3/4" at 85yds and a vel of 1950fps.
