I've always been curious about shooting GC CB's "naked," particularly after having read so many mixed reviews about their performance. Yesterday I tried 9 of them, sized to .311" and seated to just touch the rifling in my Win. Mod 70 .30-06. The load was 8.7gr. Unique whereas I'd use 12.5gr. Unique for GC .30cal. CB's of various weights in that rifle. Accuracy @ 50 yd. was a tad more than 2 m.o.a. for #-466 sans GC (hand lubed with Lars' Liquid Xlox), which puts it quite close to what I get with the same (and other CB's) at that distance. Lastly, there was virtually no leading. This test bears repeating with -466 and Saeco #315, which is normally very accurate when fully "dressed." Next time I'll remember to post pics too.
