Shot the Open Top with 200gr PRS Big Lube bullets, and the results are promising.
Seems like the best load was 29.5 gr Goex 3F with an over powder card.
Group at 16ys was about 1.5" vertical and 2" horizontal, which is similar to the group I got with the .454190's and 27.0 gr.
I think I'll keep working with the Big Lubes because I suspect the fouling will build up on the .454190s without a grease cookie.
Cheers,
