No matter which way I load them, these damn things just keep shooting right where you point them.

Been playing around with dink loads in 44 Special--5.2 of W231 pushing a 240 SWC. Shot good groups at 50' handheld. Same with the 45 ACP rounds and 4.7 of Bullseye.

Anyone who is new to reloading and wants to go with lead/cast bullets, I'd go with Mike and his stuff. It's one variable (the bullet) you can instantly eliminate from the mix as you learn the art and science of reloading.

I got some bullets from Mike at http://www.mastercastbullets.com/ too.
255 grain RNFP over 5.8 grains of Trailboss at 20 yards.
I loaded 2 snap caps so Its only a 4 shot group but its the first 4 shots I ever took with this gun.

My mastercastbullets don't shoot like yours, is that Mike sending you some special ones, comon' fess up now.

Good shooting, I know practice, practice, practice.
O'l Mike has been kind of quiet lately, got an email saying he personally wasn't messed up with the flooding, but others around had been and knowing him he is probably helping them out (shooting the snakes or something).
Regards,

yeah Mike had a few problems due to power outages and blocked roads - but seems to be making steam now. he even called me to inform a delayed shipment of slugs was on it's way out. I'm hopeing for results as good as posted.
