Just for my knowledge, in what cartridge do you load that .249 bullet? Seems a bit small for .257 or .25-06, but I have practically no experience in loading cast bullets for rifles.
Also, I think you deserve a little public recognition for making the very first post in the new subforum. Only one above yours are the Administrator's announcement and the "Casting 101" thread which was transferred from the main H&R forum.
