My Lee-Enfield shoots the following at 1 MOA
311041 beagled, wheel weights/scrape, crimp on gas check with 315 push through sizer, powder coat, then size to .314. Brass is neck sized from same...

I agree with the others: I powder coat my 311041 and then size to 310. Powder coated boolits go through the sizing dies easier. You can clamp on the gas check before or after powder coating, but I...

My son dropped a doe with a load I put together for the Lee Enfield - the weather Saturday really was miserable. There as HAIL.

Work it up for 20 gauge, too!

Did you weigh your slugs + SPWs? Mine ended up being 18 grains, or 4.4% over what slugsrus said the total weight would be.

Still haven't had the chance to get out and try again with loads...

I was using the suggested data from the sellers of the wad and slug...that's why I started there.

But yes...I'm dialing it down 10% and we'll see where it goes from there.

As for 3" vs 2 3/4"...

Should have mentioned the gun: Mossberg 500, 20 gauge. Extractor skipped right over the stuck-in-there shells of the 29 gr Longshot load.

I tried the same data on Tuesday. The Blue Dot load was hot and shells were sticky. The Longshot load failed to extract an 5 out of 5 shots. Stuck in there solid. Chrono at 1600fps with the...

I've shot the 308 Win version of this load (same bullet set up, similar weight of H4895) out to 350 yards: pinging a 1/2 scale ram at will.

Planning to get that 303 out much farther this winter:...

My Enfield in 303 Brit responded great to a ladder test with a 311041 clone (powder coated and gas checked) with H4895 powder. I've found one accuracy node around 1750 fps.

Is there a "typical"...

UPDATE: I tried the same load with a 311041 clone, Beagled, then sized .314. Same charge, but crimped in the top drive band to mimic the same OAL as the Lee Boolit. Same great results: .495" 5-shot...

"A 20 gauge gives you more options than 12 gauge before recoil becomes extreme. Personally I'd be looking into a full bore .620" bullet (slug your bore first), like the Accurate 62-425S. That cast...

The Lightfield slugs work like this (staying with the bullet until impact), and I've had great success with them. But, of course, I'd like to load my own. Nobody out there has tried the SPW with the...

For those of you using the SWP sabots from slugsrus.com...has anyone had success with using a .429 boolit in the 20 ga sabot? I'd appreciate hearing what loads you came up with.

May thanks,...

that's the one

Earlier this year I posted an accuracy load I worked up for 308 WIN from wheel weight allow and a powder coated bullet. It performed superbly earlier this week on a little buck. Entered behind the...

The 308 load is holding 2 MOA groups at 200 yards...which I'm sure would be better with someone more skilled behind the trigger!

Update....now using lee custom 311041 mold from shooting sports seller on eBay. Seats more deeply, feeds better in short throats. Redid ladder in 308 and 303. All else above is the same.

30.5...

I picked up a lee special order 311041 clone on eBay from shooting sports. Drops 311-312.

After putting on the gas check, the length of the bullet is about .630
The bearing surface is about .480

The Rossi 92 is famous for its slow twist rate of 1:30. If you plug this into the calculators online (http://www.bergerbullets.com/twist-rate-calculator/), you'll find that you need a pretty short...

A project I've been working on for a long while has finally come to fruition: building a Pistol Caliber Lever Action Silhouette gun that I could also use for the center fire Lever Action Silhouette...

Why on earth doesn't Lee make more rifle caliber 6-cavity molds? I'd like to get the C309-170-F in a 6 cavity. Will they make you one if you ask?

Thanks,

Has anyone tried powder coating this bullet? Running it through a Lee sizer after coating? Results?

Thanks,
Pastor Curtis

I knew from other experiments that H4895 is what I wanted to use for a variety of reasons, especially its ability to be downloaded for cast bullets so effectively. I did try other powders in the...
