Plinker rifle loads!
I figured this would be a good thread for those that download their rifle reloads to 'subsonic' or plinker velocities.
Today I shot my CZ 527 using 6.0gr of PB under a lee 155gr lead bullet and large pistol primers. Chrono'ed at 1100fps, recoiled about like a 9mm carbine. I love the little rifle, so this just ups the cool factor. Anyone care to share? |

Those loads are many and varied, and most easily found in the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook. I don't really have any to share, because I like my cast bullet loads to run about 1500-1900 fps. They're still a lot of fun, though, and I generally use the H4895 60% rule to get cast bullet loads. Another good powder for those type of loads is TrailBoss powder, and it can be used in a wide range of cartridges.
Reduced power loads can be a lot of fun. |
