50/70 bullets

[J.B.]

Yes.. sorry Mike that would be the correct mould no. I was trying to remember in the middle of a night shift.. ( not at my best ). I generally agree with you when it comes to keeping lube grooves covered and certainly would do so for field or hunting ammunition but as this was primarily for range/target work I didnt feel it was essential and may lead to better alignment . Like a lot of my loads.. still a work in progress but 75 x 3f Swiss was averaging 1330 fps, while the Lyman bullet #141 in front of 65 x 1.5 Swiss was yielding an average of 1270 fps. I think my next recipe will be the Accurate bullet but with 70 or so grains of Swiss 1.5. That should hover around the 1300 fps mark me thinks and be more than sufficient. The 50's are amazingly accurate and the 1 3/4" is a pleasure to shoot.
