I'd stashed them away some time ago...nearly 400 bullets needing to be used.

I followed the Lyman book the first six rounds (to test the recoil) and found that 3.7 gr. of the 231 was too warm.

I'll cut it back to 3.2 gr. tomorrow (thanks Mr. Watson and maxwayne)
We'll see how it goes.

This has been kinda fun moving things around to get the desired effect.

OK...another question...crimp the lead? If so, just enough to hold on?

Thanks.

Bob
