So I read some threads here about the 8.5 and 9 grain loads with 180ish weight bullets, then I looked at the RCBS cast book and it starts at 15 grains and go to 17 grains. Lyman starts at 12 gr. and works up to 17 as well, so one of my questions is, is the 8-9 grain loads position sensitive? Is anyone using a filler of any sort or doing the primer up, down prior to firing? Do those loads still perform well @ 100 yards?
I’m using the RCBS 180 SP bullet and will just be making holes in paper @100 yds. Previously I have used the RCBS 165 bullet with 17 grains of 2400 and been very happy with the results. Because this is just a paper puncher velocity is way down the list, I’m mainly focusing on being able to put them closely together.
