It's been a messy day misty rain all morning, this afternoon it was off and on.
But I did manage a little trip over to the barn.

Trying out a few pugnose that's been all the rave.
Had some a buddy made from an accurate mold 180's.
The pugnose was loaded with 11.5 grs 2400, and the others 9.4 Blue dot. These bullets are quite similar.

Then I tried some 8.5 Unique with a 255 fn.
A 7.4 gr Red dot with a 200 fn
And 10.0 gr Unique with a 255 fn.
6 shots

Right before the rain I did manage an one knee shoot.
Was 50 yds. 11 assorted rounds, 200 to 255, and who knows what loads most were mild and a couple not so much.

Pug nose looks the best to me. Just have to make a windage adjustment. I have some of those coming soon!
Where did you find your load data for the cast 180's?

Well the BD is something I worked up some years back, but never did tweak it.
But I was consistently hitting a 4' gong with it.
The 2400 I stole from one of you guys.
11.4 was the target but I kept dropping 11.5 so I just went with it.

I had some lubed not PC'd 180's that I wanted to try but I ran out of time.
81 rounds of fun anyway, need to check the tumbler.
Gonna load up some more pugs.

Im like Forty those Pugs will hit the gong consistently to. I bet if that was a scoped gun that group would be a lot tighter. Whats the distance there Randy 50 yards.

Iron sights, 50 yards with some new loads= pretty darn good! I'm going to TRY and get out today with the .45 Colt.

I got my data from the Lyman #4 Cast Bullet manual. It goes from 11.1gr 2400 to 12.3gr 2400. I just settled on 11.5 and it works.
