Better get somebody else to shoot them Dave what with the state of your minces. :geek:
14g to 15g 2400 would be a good starting point. Cat fart loads, around 4g to 5g of Viht 310.

Range is on to morrow bad weather at the moment gail force winds but I am hoping it dies down over night.
I have loaded up dodgyrog boolits ready to go.
Had a bit of a problem I could not find the bag of cases I had any were dont know for the life of me were I have put them.
I could only find 21 cases so I have loaded
6 rounds with 13.5grains of ALLIANT 2400'
6 rounds with 14grains
3 rounds with 14.5grains
6 rounds with 15grains.
I intend to shoot them in 3 shot groups.of a bipod with the but rested in a sand bag.
The boolits miked at a consistent .313 and the average weight of boolit was 158grains.
I full length sized primed with winchester primers. Dropped 13grains of powder using a rcbs powder thrower into a pan on a electric scale then trickled the rest of the powder in ans check weighed the charge on a hornady mechanical beam measure .I used a lyman m die to flare the case mouth then seated the boolit. I inspected them and they look fine to me no lead shaving.
Ready to rock and roll.

I'm excited that they might actually work!

Went to the range to day it was dry and cold.
I had a few problems scope mounts a little loose and bipod needed tightening up.
So a false start but once that was fettled I had another go.
The best results were with the 14 and 14.5 grains of 2400 but early days yet but the results are encouraging.
I cannot fault Dodgyrog boolits they are the Bizo (Get some)
I was shooting for group size not accuracy that comes once I am happy with the load lots more work yet but I am happy with this boolit.
What you also have to take into consideration is that I am blind as a bat with cataracts in both eyes so not a bad result. :lol: :lol:

Phew! Well done - they look the biz!
My integrity remains intact.
No leading I hope?

What distance were you shooting at Alpha1?

10 feet???

I am off to the range to morrow to have another go with this rifle and boolit combination.
Its the first time I will be actually shooting since the detached retina scenario. Wish me luck.

Great to hear, hope it goes well and the weather holds out for.
