Just a while back I picked up a used Winchester Legendary Frontiersman in 38-55. I’ve since picked up a Lee 250 RF mold for it and have been working on load development for some time now. 10.0 grs Unique so far is showing the best promise with a velocity of 1285 FPS. Boolits powder coated as cast. Bore slugs at .379 Boolits .384. I don’t have a sizer for it yet.
I shot this first group today at 100 yards with iron sights. It’s pure COWW. I was pretty happy with that.
291076
Then I shot this! It’s 1/3 COWW and 2/3 pure lead. Very happy with that. Next time out I need to move it a bit right.
291077
I’m hoping to take it out for deer this season. Velocity and load should be OK right? I’ve never shot deer with cast to date. Wasn’t sure exactly where to post.
