Howdy all,
I've lurked here a bit off and on and shoot cast in my 300 blk and 45 caliber handguns. Now I'm faced with a reloading situation I don't know how to solve and was hoping for some help. I have a CZ 527 re-barrelled w/ a 1:7 twist 16" PacNor. I went that way for a 22 subsonic rifle able to shoot heavier projectiles than a 22 lr. I found that the 80 amax wouldn't stabilize in it and haven't shot it in a while. Anyways I've got two molds I hope to get to work in it; the NOE 70 grain round nose and their new 100 grain flat point. I've casted some of each in clip on wheel weights, powder coated them, and sized to 0.226. My question is, What's a save starting point with such heavy boolits in such a small case? Especially the 100FN. I think I could use Trail Boss with either in a 223 but don't know if that'll work in the hornet. I have Trail Boss, Red Dot, Unique, Universal Clays as far as pistol powders and would like to use one of them. I also have 4227, Lil Gun and H4198 that might work too but with larger charge weights and more noise (something I'm trying to avoid). I was thinking of starting with 4 grains of Red Dot and the 70 RN and work from there but I may need to get a copy of quickload. I don't want to stick a boolit and I really don't want to have an excessive pressure situation in the weak hornet case. Thanks
