I have used A 75 grain LBT Spitzer style Used to order these from The Bull Shop! The were pretty accurate if I was shooting them fast.
They weighed in at 78 gr with gas check 17,2 grains of RX7 col 2.538
Here is 8 shots at 100yards It was lubed with Bull Shops green lube! Sorry for the unsharp photo

Damn,that's fantastic shooting. How do you do it. What is your most used alloy?I just made up some of 50/50,lead and lino. 74 gr NOE. Flat base and gas check. Makes a pretty bullet. Not where to start. Any suggestions.. thanks John

Have no Idea what alloy Bullshop uses? As far as my alloy It doesn't matter to me I just mix to get 11-12 BHN after 3 weeks ( I use that Cast bullet alloy spread sheet) to figure out what I need ! It comes down to economy because the PC coating handles softer lead well!
On most of the targets I have posted here, you need to remember that I was shooting at least 3 days a week, always from the same bench so. set up, shooting and follow through....we an ingrained discipline that is not forgotten until you miss a week or two! If I see a mistake on the target,
I know what I did wrong! And I then fix my problem! Sure every once in a while you pull a shoot but you should know exactly why it went were it did! as my shooting buddy Ed always says" that is why we practice, to figure out our flaws"! The more you shoot the better you get!
As soon as I get all my seedlings in the ground and mother nature takes ofer my job....I will be at the Range again as many mornings as I can get out!
I will not be that accurate at first since it as been 8 months, but I give myself 2 weeks to get back in shooting shape!

Also I don't change things much....You seem to jump around all over the place! BHN, Gas Check , No Gas checks, Different bullets, different Velocities etc and you are only really loading for one .243!
I shoot at least 6 Different calibers accurately!
Because I only use one load for each and work the heck out of it!
Find something that seems to work and tweak the heck out of it before changing anything!
Just my advise
Jim

Your right. I do jump around and I know it's my greatest fault.. I tell my self to settle down, but I don't work. I guess I just like to try to many things. When I was shooting the F Class I started getting bored with the same old powder, bullets,etc. I gave it up after about 5 years. There was no more fun in it.., I will work at it but like I said,your right...thanks John

At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
There's nothing wrong with trying different things. I'm rather impressed you get the accuracy you do with a pure lead bullet and no GC. When you start adding some pressure to the menu, there are some things that just plain work better- most of the time anyway!!!
