I have 3 moulds for my 303 Brit: Lee c312-185-1r, Lee TL312-160-2r, and Lyman
2660299. I've been able to develop loads for the first two that shoot through one big hole at 75 yards (good enough for me), however, I cant get my Lyman to group satisfactorily (yet). It fits the bore tightly now and I get no leading no matter how fast I push the 200 grainers. I've been using 2400 powder exclusively.
I even tried h4895 with the 314299's to no avail. I'd like to be able to work up an accurate hunting load between 1800 and 2000 fps. The rifle is a Lee enfield no. 1 mk3 with an 18.5 inch bbl. The powders I have to play with are : 2400, h4895, IMR 4198, h4831.. I'm all ears if other powders will work but I'd like to use one of the ones I have. The 314299's shoot to a different poa than the others and the load I tried last night was 17gr 2400. From the sitting position, the best I could manage was a 4 inch group at 75 yards. The Lee 160's and the Lee 185's were dead on and grouping tightly shooting from the same position. Please help!:sad:
