Streching brass?

[Eric Johanen]

You know LG, I never made a chamber cast from this barrel. Had Shiloh do a change several years ago (originally a 40-50 bn). Brass that is under 2.400 I use with grooved bullets and 2.400+ is used with paper patch bullets. Results with 2.400 up to + .003 are working well but I have not got the loads quite where I want them yet. Using a BACO .444 Money Bullet 16/1 patched to .450 with either Swiss or OE 1.5 fg I see no paper rings or leading and the bullets are passing through the target at 1000 yards nice and round. I've modified the patch height and use less paper under the base but still have to tweek the type of over powder wad and the seating depth. I'll get things worked out this season. Always appreciate your advice and that has helped me working out my loads.
