I'm fairly new here[15 posts] ,not new to reloading but not real experienced at cast bullet reloading,Marlin 45-70,not much luck without a gas check with the Micro-groove barrel.
I'm hoping for better luck with my Marlin in.32 win. spl,It has the older ballard rifleing,I haven't shot them yet but I used a Lee 90274 sized to .322 "cutting "[Not as simple as that]the tip off to a .260 meplat making the bullets .810 long and they weigh at 164.5 gr. [I don't remember for sure the specs are out in the barn and its raining and I'm lazy so I'll use my memory, PLEASE forgive!] but after much deliberation and consultation with load books and taking into consideration the rifleing twist,alloy[ close to No.2],and wieght of the bullet and the fact that it is finally aimed at deer gittin'I loaded the first batch at 28.3 grns IMR 30-31.
Anyway,I was loking for data and happened upon this post and thought this would be an apprpriate addition to the fine intelligence I have encountered here and maybe you fellows could give me some feedback and projections ,good or bad , as to how this load is going to
perform at the range when it stops raining!?
I originally posted this to an old post before I checked the date so I moved it and made it a new thread
