Fella's I been pourin' lead for 35 years and I have been surprised a few time but this one takes the cake. I started with 7 gr Unique and worked up to 9 grs. First five shots missed a 2X3 sheet of paper at 50yds. Thought it was the scope so tried some of my 250gr swaged bonded core thumpers ( I smash lead into cylinders too ) and got my usual 3 touching group. I also worked up some Titegroup loads starting with 5gr. First group went into 1 1/2 inch group. 5.5 went into 2 inches. 6.0 started missing the paper again. Seems like this is going to be a low velocity bullet. I'll drag my chrony to the range next time. A couple of questions. Has anyone else tried this bullet and what was your experience ? Any suggestions on powders. I was thinking of Trail Boss. Any thoughts on that one ? BTW the boolits miked .413 and were air cooled WW and 2% tin with LLA lube.
