Making progress. Quick update for all y’all. I loaded some 230 grains j-word pull downs I bought from RMR and tested with the same charge weight of N310 and tried out the new Caldwell chronograph. I was surprised to see velocity in the upper 600 range.
So changed gears and switched to 3N38 powder and worked up to nine grains using the harder alloy HPs I cast. I got a ten shot average of 948.8 FPS.
Selected five boolets I was gifted and ran them through my Lee sizer. Dabbed on some more LLA with my fingertips and letting them dry.
Fixing to go fill up a Rubbermaid trash can with water near a rose bush I want to burn and hope to kill. Plan to test these five by shooting down into the trash can filled with water. Will update y’all after while.
