LeftoverdjC358-180-RF in the .357 Max
It was worth the wait. My mould got in Tuesday and I was casting Tuesday evening. The bullets were waterquenched after casting from WW+2%tin+one catfood can of birdshot to the 20 pound pot full.
I crimped and lubed with FWFL in a .360 sizer to avoid any softening. First trials were with WC-820 and were pretty mediocore until I worked up to 19.0 grains. That gave me three five shot 50 yard groups in the 1-1 /14" range. All three groups contained much tighter four shot clusters so there may be some room for improvement.
What sort of velocities are you getting?

LeftoverdjHaven't chronied yet, but it's up in the "plenty for deer" range. I'll post when I have chronied and fiddled a bit. This is my first go with WC-820 and one of the things I wanna do is a direct comparison with H-110.
