    Range report on Piglet method

    Went to the range with six loads for my 30-06 from min jacketed load to max one gr at a time. Had no lead, no paint, no problems was using a 200gr Lee boolit cast out of soft lead (hard wouldn't be a test) from 2100fps to 2400fps + so i figure it was a good test to see if it was going to work.
    Accuracy was as good as with any lube I have used and don't shoot jackets so don't know about that.
    I am not recommending or not recommending you have to make your own mind up on whatever you try but it is fun and i need something to entertain me.
    PS the rifle looked as clean when I finished as when I started. I can't push a lubed boolit that fast not because of lead but accuracy isn't there starts downhill about 1900fps.
