Look what just came home with me! I have searched all my books and powder manufacturer's web sites and I am having trouble finding exact load data that I am comfortable with. My Lyman Cast Bullet #4 seems best and I am hoping you will share your results. -- I will not be loading near the top of these loads. --
I am using brand new Winchester Brass and they are 1.28" long.
I have cast Lee 429-200-RNFP cast bullets and they are .598" long (powder coated)
When seated to the crimp grove the OAL is 1.55" long meaning that .328" of the bullet is in the case.
I am using regular Federal large pistol primers.
I have IMR4227, Alliant 2400, Hodgdon HS-6 and Hodgdon 800-X (also have Alliant Sport Pistol)
Even though Lee says that these are 200 grain I weigh them at 210 grains
Will I be OK starting low and working up?
Thanks
Francis
