I have a Remington 700 I have set up as my cast boolit gun. Rifle is an older 700 ADL 3006 cut to 20" and recrowned, with tight chamber and great 308 bore. It has a lyman 48c rear and Thompkins globe front. I am using an old Weaver 1.5 to 4.5 for load development and hunting. Good scope.
Bullet is a Lee 6 cavity 311041 plain base and sized .310 of water quenched WW and have my Lyman 450 set up to set a much larger meplat. With this boolit my best OAL is 2.945 for chambering.
Have tried 16 and 17 gr 2400 with good accuracy. Also have IMR4895 and H335.
No idea as to velocities with no chronograph so what velocity can I expect with these 2400 loads and would they be adequate for deer. Would 18 gr 2400 be more realistic? Ranges would vary from 50 yd to 100 yd.
I realize that your thoughts on velocity would be an educated guess.
Thanks for your advice.
