Cast bullets in the .303 British
When I was buying molds from Lee, I went ahead and purchased their 185 gr. cast .311 gas check bullet. I have finally gotten some nice casts out of it, but I have misplaced the load data that someone on one of the forums had for cast bullets. The search function has me coming up empty-handed. anyone have any light plinking loads for cast 185 gr. gas checked bullets?
thanks DavidAGO |

Red Dot.
Anywhere from 8 to as high as 13 grains. I used to use 11 grains of Red Dot VERY successfully in my Remington 722 in .300 Savage. Capped a lot of squirrels like that. Only problem is, it's WAY dirty. Just found this, an interesting read by Ed Harris... http://www.castbulletassoc.org/forum...87&forum_id=22

Lots of .311 cast go sideways even at 25 yds with fast powders such as unique, even .314 doesn't help in my 5 groove, and my buddy's 2 groove. He got better results with 4227 powder, I'll try that next.
