I had a good day at the range with my 22 hornet and 35 Remington.

Shooting 225462c tumble lubed with LLA Hornady checks over .7 cc H4198 the hornet showed 2 distinct groups at 50 yd. each group was about an inch and the centers were about 3/4" apart. I'm guessing the two groups were each from boolits of the different cavities in the 2 cavity mold. I'm going to mark the cavities and try this again.

The RanchDog boolits were keyholing out of the 35 Remington. These were also tumble lubed and checked. What I didn't do was water drop them as I believe was suggested on the Ranch Dog site.

If it ever stops raining in SW PA I'll cast some more of each and harden the Ranch Dogs and try the whole business over again.
