I just acquired a Ruger No 1 in 9.3X74R. Unfortunately no mold to be had, just jacked bullets. I had just received a group buy mold #358318 from N.O.E. The mold dropped boolits at .360 with ww and with a couple wraps of Fidelity onion skin paper I had boolits at .367.
Yesterday was the test and I was not expecting a great deal.(think the worst and never be disappointed) I shot three loads, two with the #358318, one using gas checks and one without, all with a charge of 21 Gr's of 4759. The other load is with an old Lyman mold boolit #358009 which also dropped at .360. No gas check on the boolit. The charge was 20 Gr's of 4759. The first group with the #358318GC measured 1.6 in at 100 yds. The second group without gas check measured 1.7 in at 100 yds. The final group with the #358009 without gas check measured 1.3 in at 100 yds
Not too bad for a first attempt at paper patching and the first fifteen rounds down the pipe. :-P Can't seem to get photo bucket to post pictures of the targets other than the one attached which shows nuttin.
