Hi all,
I just got done casting some .44 cal boolits to use in my 1894 Marlin .44 mag rifle. I’m using an NOE boolit mould, it drops the boolits at .4345, I’ll size them to .433. But it’s supposed to drop the boolits at 434 grns, but my boolits are weighing in between 427.5 and 429.5 grns! My Lyman 4 th edition cast handbook has loads for 225 grn boolits, and 240 grn boolits. Which load data should I use for my boolits? The 225 grn boolit load data is closer to their weight than the 240 grn boolits?
Thank Much for any advice,
Paul
