I’m looking for two Moulds for my two Marlin Texans. I’m using an alloy with 2% tin that runs close to 14-15 Bh. I run temp between 685-700.
First is my 30-30 which slugs .3105. I’ve got mediocre results with both my Lyman 311041 and my Lee 309-170-GC. This rifle is the microgroove factory.
Next is my Jess rebored Texan 375 Win three groove that runs .3785. Not much success with either my RCBS 37-250-FNGC or my Lyman 375248 which is PB. I haven’t experimented very much with either, especially the Lyman.
All are lubed and sized to .378 then given two coats of BLL. I’m looking for velocity around 1600 - 1800 fps.
