hard cast gc and WC852 in the 500 jeffe
--warning-- internet load data, do NO use.. this is the SLOW wc852, NOT the "F"

here's some fun shooting... using pat's reloading "wc852 -- slower than h414" and brother, it is, and my 500 jeffe, with a 22" barrel

wayne doudna made me some cast 530gr GC HARD cast, with LBT

I set them up at 3.45", heavy crimp

100 gr-- test load (would have worked with faster powder, but wanted to SEE effect)

115gr ~2025fps

120gr ~2130fps

126gr ~2200fps exactly and a great practice load.

No sign of leading, and ~1.5" at 25 yards... i think that was me, as the gun will shoot 1/2 that or better

bertram brass, fed 215 primers,

anyway, I am happy with it.. I've got a load, with milsurp powder, that is cheaper to shoot per round than just the RL15 that I prefer.

it's ready to hunt, and will in a month or so.

Right on, jeffe. Keep on havin fun and sharing it here. It's starting to get warm enough here that I might get to go out and play in a week or so too.

I am glad your rifle has turned out so well for you. 470Mbogo said that rig of yours is a definate shooter.

Cheers,
Canuck
