With the advice I got for this bullet I ended up seating them at 2.665 just touching the lands. All brass was Hornady match trimmed to specks. All lubed with 45/45/10 and GC. Loaded 10 rounds each with Unique starting at 12grn and increased 1/2 grain up to 16grn . Fired 1 fouling shot [5:30] then the next 9 at the bullseye is the group on lower 1/2 of bullseye. Next group fired with 12.5grn and scope adjust is upper bullseye. Went to 16grn at top center 10 shots. Shot another target but left it up and the rain destroyed it. 14grn was the best but not by a lot. Target was at 50yrd. Just got in my NOE expanders and will retest again. I'm pretty happy with the results but hope to get them tighter. Scope is a Leopold 3x9 rifleman so not the best for targets, Steve 20160403_200224_001-480x853.jpg

I'm interested in your unique powder tests with this bullet. I have it in both gc and pb version with plenty of unique and red dot on hand.

Just starting to test and have close to 8 lbs of it and it's a good all around powder. I have several other powders to test with also and will post when i can get to them

That is some fine shooting, i bet if you finger lube a batch (10) with Bens Red your groups will tighten up a hair more.

Cool, post up those results, I am surprised that LLA shot that well for you. I could never get it to shoot for me in rifles, obviously it will I just didn't find the secret. I would still roll the finger lubed bullets in the LLA, Ben has some results that can not be argued with and that is his MO.

Ben's testing results is what motivated me to try this, I was nervous that I might hurt my gun but now I can blame it all on him, lol

actually your doing your gun a favor.
shooting cast will extend the barrel life by about 9 times normal
and won't push the throat out 1/2" in 200 rounds.
it'll also smooth the bolt and trigger assembly into a well fitted piece of steel.
