I also have the 625-6 hunter, I have shot it a few times using 250 Gr Lead RN and use Trail Boss, I installed wood target grips and a weaver pro point, haven't played with the Barrel weights for...

My favorite to use is news paper, I have a green Hoppies mat I use, but the news paper give a smooth surface to work on, absorbs the fluids and I throw it away when it needs to be.

I will try 750 tomorrow, I'll let you know what happens. Thanks

I ordered a Hardline 9mm RN mold, 115gr, I ordered it for using Coatings, I'm having problems casting with it, Bullets always come out wrinkled, I tried adding more tin, NG. Higher heat bullet starts...
