Good looking bullets !
edmehlig said:I size that Lyman 330gr Gould mold with a Lee .452 sizing die Tatarsky sized them to 451.5. I don’t have a problem with the Bullets moving off the chargeveuth my 461 WhiteRifles. By the way while advertised as a 330grmold my Bullets come out weighing approximately 346-347gr without lube.
If the gods smile on me I hope to get out and shoot the bullets you sent me. I’ll start off with 70 gr of Swiss 3F and go up to 80gr. I’ll let you know how I do.

edmehlig said:Lewis, I got to the range today. Unfortunately, the shooting conditions was not great as I had the sun directly in my eyes. To see me try and shoot was comical, to say the least. I manage to find a large piece of cardboard that I had resting over the scope and over my head trying to keep it from blowing off all while concentrating on shooting. Anyway, my White with the 1-20" twist seemed to like 60 or 65gr of Swiss 3F. I tried 70gr but the group opened up a little. If I had more bullets I'd go again at a different time so I won't have to deal with the sun. The 65gr target there are two shots in the left hole. The 60gr also shows promising and I'm sure I could better if it wasn't for the sun.
