Finally got a chance to cast up a bunch of bullets to try out in my 91/30 Tula with my new Accurate mold I had cut for it. The bullet is a 215 gr. FN when casting from wheel weights. I decided to PC these with clear gloss and sized them to .314" when I applied the gas check. All I have to do now is load up some test load using H-4895 at various charge weight to find the sweet spot for the highest velocity while still holding good accuracy. The bullet is designed mainly for hunting purposes an not long range shooting.
While I was at it I coated some of my Lee 185 gr. RN bullet that I've previously shot in the Mosin and SKS rifle. I know how they shoot with using traditional lube in both rifles so I have some data to comer the PC'ed bullets too. They almost look too nice to shoot but I can make more.
