I know some of this may seem obvious to you and some things are to me but give me your feedback on this any way please.
these are the facts of what and how I loaded ;
.32 win. spl. 175 gr. RN cast [Lee mold for 8 mm ]
cast bullets miced at .324,I did not resize-I did not lube
Alloy-No.2 alloy-4# lino 5# pure lead[no-o#- added tin]
slugged bore .322
30 Gr. IMR 3031 in Fed. 30-30 full length sized cases -Win.WLR primers
neck opened up to .323 with 8mm button to avoid shaving lead[They chambered fine]
I crimped them in a Lee 30-30 factory crimp die just enough touch to crimp I did not go heavy on the handle and they looked good ,not to deep.
rifle -1953 vintage Marlin 336 in .32 win.spl. in excellent condition with mint bore- Ballard rifling Williams FP sights[peep]
Target 6" flourescent circle at 50 m
accuracy with jacketed bullets 1.5 in.
accuracy with cast bullets NONE! all over the target 12" + group
Jacketed loads were 170 gr. Speer SPFN with32 Gr.IMR 3031
in new full length sized cases ignited by Win.WLR primers crimped with the seating die.
let me hear it please because the rifle should do the job so it's obviously my loading technique thanks.Shootrj2003 :rolleyes: :( :confused: :eek:
