I just received two boxes of Cast Performance hard cast gas checked bullets for my Heym 470. The size is 475 / 425 gr. I’m looking for a few reduced to full loads using (if possible) RL15, 4831 and 5744 powders. I have read thru all of the old postings (two hours worth) with out finding any consistency in the loads.

The problem is the 425 gr weight. With 500s sized at .476" my Searcy seems to be regulated for 42-45 gr of AA5744. This is a reduced load. I would not recommend running full loads with cast bullets. You might get away with a slightly reduced load using RL-15 and dacron filler. Again with 500 gr bullets my rifle seems to be OK with 85 gr of RL-15 at abt 2000 fps.

I have had similar experience as Mike and recomend his load of 45g 5744. I also used this load with 400 Grain Speer Jacketed Pistol bullets and had no problems. I prefer the Pistol bullets over lead due to the reduced fowling and ease of reloading. Don't ask me how accurate they were because I never paid much attention. I will say that they make good practice loads and I was able to hit what I aimed at out to normal double rifle distances. (under 2000 yards). ****************************************************************** R.

I don't know much about doubles or shooting cast bullets in one but Roscoe, if your normal double rifle shooting distance is 2000 yards or under, then YOU DA MAN!!!!!  I hunt, not to kill, but in order not to have played golf.... DRSS | |||

RAC, Keep in mind I have iron sights on my 470's so my shooting distance is limited. ****************************************************************** R.
