Looking for a recipe for cast bullets.

[Gav 1,708]

I dug my stuff out and cast some lead in a c309-170f lee mould, sized and gas checked  them for .308, sat now waiting for lube to dry.

Anyway I don't know what load to charge these with as all I have now is reach compliant, so I turned to quickload to see if I can get a recipe for powder I have. I don't want to overpressure as I've not hardness tested the lead as yet. They came out with gas checks crimped at 179gn to 182 gn

What do you think this looks like as a start out load?

Oops that was a max load, Start was 46.6gn of N550 muzzle pressure 8861psi and muzzle vel 2419fps

Peak pressures will be down over metal jackets. What lube Lee allox?

Aye that's the stuff, bloody orribble stinky goey carp, I read the warnings on the side, it's worse than the bloody lead

It's good stuff by rights with nitro.

If you stick to cast it costs the bore much like a 22 and helps to protect it from damp.

Very underestimated for hunting with cast bullets are today.
