Hi Guys,
Ben has given me a challenge ( Since I PC coat)...He sent me this worked over 195 grain Spitzer PB bullet mould based on a 2 cavity Lee. This mould has no lube grooves and was meant to be used as a PC only bullet ! I haven't mastered it yet, although I tried with American Select and came close but it was pushing pressures after a 9 grain powder load! I went down to about 8 grains of Unique and I started seeing possibilities! In a 30-30 Cartridge this is not your Father's 30-30 load! These babies hang out at over 3" COL ( 3.01" to be accurate) Hand fed single shot into my Savage 340! Hope to be shooting them for a real test this weekend! In the mean time here is how they look:
They remind me of a 30-40 Krag mil bullet!
