Finally got a minute to load up some bullets I'd cast many years ago . If I remember right they came from a NEI mold , looks to be about forty-five grain with a couple lube grooves ... I'll try and remember to look up the number . I squirted a little tumble lube on them and seated the gas check on the RCBS press . Next time I have a LEE die for lube and size but for now they work .
This can of AL-8 has been around here forever and I've been using it for reduced 30-30 loads with Jacketed slugs in a single shot . In the .223 case for this job I used five grains using a LEE scoop . Have some Remington bench rest primers leftover from a trade and put it together to touch the lands of the 788 .
Shot just enough of them to re-sight the rifle from the last batch of barn loads it was using . It shot pretty well with them too , I might hafta use this one a little more :-D Velocity ? I don't have a clue . When time permits I may get the chony out and see .
