I have seen several mentions of pushing PCed plain based boolits well into what was long considered gas check velocities. I am hoping to assemble a thread of those loads that show usable accuracy (under 3 moa) with details for others to try. Please include as much detail as possible:

1. Cartridge
2. Twist Rate
3. Mold
4. Alloy (quenched or not)
5. Coating Brand/color
6. Powder
7. Charge
8. Velocity
9. Anything else you think is useful information

for starters.

The information you seek would be good to have but......... Getting the PC full power velocity and accuracy at short ranges like 50 yards is not the problem. The problem is the non-concentric (lopsided) cast bullet which takes special tools and techniques to correct. Unless the bullet can be made concentric full power accurate loads won't happen. Check out an old post made by Bama, I believe it was "accuracy at 350 yards"
