Picked up some bullets at raffle at gun club

170 gr Speer and box of Hornady

looking for a load for IMR 4895 powder suitable for a Bolt Action rifle US mod 1917

(tried 42.6 gn of 4895 viewed a couple of threads on cast bullets, found recommendations for 42 gn and 43 and so I split the difference and using Lee dipper. Got good group with the Hornady, Speer ok not as good need more work)
