[QUOTE="RustyW, post: 986453, member: 8929"] I cast my own bullets and have good luck with a Lee, TL356-124-TC. I use 3.0 grains of Clays and have no leading using straight wheel weights, about 12bhn. I've also shot a lot of commercial cast LRN with good results. Very minimal leading. Bullet fit and chamber pressure are more important than FPS. Here's a chart I use from Lee that lists PSI not to exceed for a certain BHN. Some manuals list their load data with psi. Lyman and Lee do but I don't think Speer does. I have no experiance with Tightgroup. My Lyman 48th shows 2.9gr starting load @ 1002fps with 26,800 CUP/not PSI. The MAX load is 3.3 @ 1082fps with 29,500CUP. If the bullet fits the barrel with .001 or .002 oversize and with about a 15 to 20bhn I'd say you'll have good luck. Also if the rifleing is shallow you'll need a harder bullet. This is a rifled barrel right? Not Polygonal. [/QUOTE]
