I have cast quite a few of these boolits in my new 6 cavity mold and have been shooting them for about a week. Let me tell ya, this is a fine boolit in my 1894 Marlin carbine! The best load so far has been with WC-820 at 1350 fps and turns in about 2 moa at 100 yards. This combination will be in the woods with me this season, if the Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise.
I finally got IMR-4227 to burn clean by upping the charge to 21 grains, which is about max, but I haven't tested it as throughly as the 820 load. H-110 and 2400 are on the list to try, but it will surprise me if they outperform the old surplus. Yeah, I really like this design! -JDL
