Finally got some of these loaded and to the range to see how these bullets do.
Loaded 18 rounds with 12.8 grains of 2400 in new Starline Brass and CCI 500 primers.
This is a standard load for me with cast 158 grain LSWC and this gun.
the targets are 1 1/2" diameter
I didn't notice any smoke and my friend said all he saw were some flames coming out of the end of the barrel.
Chrono results:
I don't think I've ever had such poor chrono data correspond to such good target results in this test with these Hi-tek bullets??? Its kind of odd.
The bullets are very accurate and seem well made. The shoulders of the bullets are very consistent and crimped nice and uniform.
Overall, I am very happy with these bullets.
Generally, when I've seen 3 or 4 of the holes in a nice tight group, like these, I figure the load doesn't need any improvement and figure the guy pulling the trigger still has some fault involved.
The barrel cleaned right up with 1 wet patch and 3 dry patches. There was only a little bit of un-burnt powder in the barrel.
As others have said, this really changes the game.
