There was a thread somewhere I remember of results, but cant find it.
I was trying out some loads today. I bought a 230gr .311 mold. Works great subsonic, I was just using range scrap off ebay to make them, powder coat em. When loaded in my 30-30 it would not work to lube em as lube grooves are exposed. I know a 30-30 wont really shoot such a long bullet, unless it has a 1-8 twist barrel like mine does. My $50 fin mosin puts them in ragged groups as does the 30-30.
I tried them in my mosin at full power, but does not take much velocity past subsonic and the groups went from ragged to 6 in or more. So I gave linotype a try. The mosin now shoots the same groups at full power. 30gr of I4198 got me 1922fps. Not really that fast.
But I got 2590fps out of my 300 win mag w 60gr of H4350, thats min jacketed data. I only made a few to try to see how well they worked, and only had so much lino. And shot those 230gr just as well as it does jacketed, its a Savage 116 lefty. The 200gr Lyman w 63gr of H4350 got me 2783fps, same kind of accuracy. Will get some more lino and try them at longer range.
