So after further testing, I ended up getting a Lee 312-160 pill with 30.5gr of AR Plus to cycle reliably. It ejected brass about 3-5 feet to the 2 o’clock. It shot POA POI at 100 yards and was...

Thanks for the information! I’ll have to give it a try. I’ve always been a bit nervous about using Dacron as I didn’t want to accidentally cause something dangerous to happen.

Should I just slowly bump the Dacron filler up until it it shows more promise?

Ohhh ok, that makes more sense, cause it has a little note saying which load happened to be the most accurate for them

I use it exclusively for .303, 54r, x39, and 3006. I don’t own anything in 7.7 yet. But ya they all shoot awesome with the same powder charge. I’m waiting on a 7mm mold to try that but if your gonna...

I actually just got my #3 in the mail yesterday. I had the 4th and had been using that. But #3 has a lot more milsurp calibers that I shoot.

Do you recall what sight settings you had it set too? On my K98 with 13gr of red dot and 180~gr pill I had to set the sights to 600 yards to shoot 200 yard targets.
