casting for 7mmTcu

[kenyerian]

What castboolits have you guys had success with in a 7mmtcu? Thinking about Trying a saeco #070.

That and the RCBS 145 Sil were always excellent choices in the TCU. I put many thousands of them downrange when shooting silhouette. Cast them out of Lino with a case nearly full of 2230 and LBT blue for lube.

I have a Saco #281 145 grain GC mold that I have not used yet. However, I intend to cast some very soon along with a bunch of other boolits that I will size with my new Star sizer when it comes in. I have a rifle and pistol in 7TC and a huge amount of brass that needs to be loaded. I will certainly try some of the loads listed above. Thank you. And if this old brain will remember I will post the results.

Thanks for all of the quick replies. Think i'm going to go ahead and order the Saeco. it was between it and the RCBS.

I had outstanding results with the Lee boolit and 2015BR powder.

I have a 10 " and a 14" barrel for my Contender in 7mmTCU as well as a Savage Axis with a Shilen barrel and shoot a 120 grain Old Lyman Ideal mold with gas check behing 5.0 to 5.2 grains Unique. I have never shot it at a target over 50 yards. It is a fun and accurate load. I cast my own 120 grain bullets. dd
