Hey there,
during the last year we got some roe deer with our cast load.
Terminal ballistics are quite good. The meplat works really well.
With the chosen powder we had some unburnt powder residues in the barrel. We would like to try to eliminate them by switching to Vihtavuori N110. We've loaded 25, 27, and 29 gr, but haven't shot them already.
By the way, what do you think of the amount of roll crimp I've put on the cartridge?
Is it right?
I followed the cast bullet handbook from lyman: The right amount of crimp is, when you run down the bullet with your fingernail over the case mouth. If it doeas not hang up on the case mouth, the crimp is enough.
