Started shooting my Rossi single shot in 7.62x39 with some j-word bullet to start getting it broke in. Want to get a good cast hunting boolit for it. The bore slugs .310. For those of you that have them, what dia. does the Lee boolit cast at? I'm hoping at least .311?
BTW, it shoots about 1 1/2" - 2" groups at 100 yds. with 123 gr. Hornady's on top of 25 gr. of H4198. Only has a Tasco 4X scope on it so, I think I can improve on it with a 3X9 scope and a little more break in time.
Also, shot one hole (three shot) groups at 25 yds. with 100 gr. FN Rainier plated bullets on top of 5 gr. of Trail Boss. Opens up to about 3/4" at 50 yds. Sounds like a 22 mag. with about as much recoil. I am going to try and work that down a little to make a quiete small game load. I started with the 5 grains because that is a half full case.
