Finally got to cast up some of 475/480's .413-260-K group buy slugs. Looking good so far, just a tad rough, but Lee molds seem to smooth out over time with a few scrubbings and polishing compound applications.
Planning on trying them out tomorrow. Load is 8 grains Unique, WLP primer, 260-K sized to .412 [my alloy drops at 249 grains], 50/50 vaseline and Randy Rat beeswax lube.
Ruger BH 6 1/2" barrel, 25 yards. 12 for test. Wish me luck. Will report ASAP.
