Finally got to try these WC boolits in my M66 S&W today. what a hoot shooting my own ammo, although I have reloaded for the past couple of years. This was different.

I ran out of time at the range so couldn't try all the different batches I made up but this boolit over Titegroup shows some promise in the gun. No leading at all and a very mild load. I did pan lube them with Darr lube, but next time I may try a tumble lube it would be a lot easier. I have two more batches at the upper end of the load to try and I think that should tighten up the groups some. I will probably try Bullseye too as that is my fall back powder for a lot of the pistols I shoot.

And I picked up a 3/4 full coffee can of spent lead too just lying around the berm.
