I have been casting my Accurate 36-270c mold and feel this could be a real fine bullet for me.
I loaded a shot a couple today even tho I know they need to season more. I was impatient. Just a case if Trail Boss 22.5g fit to bottom of the bullet and gave me 1480fps and 1 - 1.25” 50 yard groups.
This is a fun load but I would really like to be 2000+ fps. I dont think 2200-2300 is out of reality.
Looking last night I did not locate any data at all. In the past I have used 338 mag data (lead) but I dont find anything past 225g bullets.
Extrapolating I believe about 30g of 5744 aughta put me pretty close. Its no mans land.
Any one know of data for this big Norma Magnum and these heavy lead bullets?
Appreciate the help.
