Anybody else trying this caliber for cast boolits?
After being very disapointed in my 257 Roberts today, I thought I'd give this one a go. 60gr Seaco oven heat treated WW and am trying IMR4198 right now. I'm fairly surprised so far. Not great, but around 1 1/4 groups at 50yds from 2300-2500fps so far.
Might do some hotter loads tomorrow since it got dark on me tonight. I should've known it would. It did the same thing last night right around this time.;)
Anyway, the groups aint fell apart so I dont know how hot I can go yet. My lube is still working so far as I can tell from the lube splatter on the target. 50/50 beeswax/alox that I made and then added 10% parafin.
This is way better so far than I expected, so I'm happy.
Anybody else tried it?
