Title: Trying to put togther a hunting load
Post by: High Desert Hunter on February 10 2018 05:59:05 PM MST

I am casting this bullet from an NOE mold, it weighs 203 grains lubed and checked. From L-R, Doubletap 230gr, NOE 203gr, and 203gr NOE. Will work for 100% reliable feeding, have to seat them at 1.245 to get them to work in the magazine of the SR1911, currently I am using AA-9, Blue Dot, and Longshot. Once I know the OAL is good for feeding, I will tweak until the accuracy is where I want it.

The COL will likely be 1.240" - 1.242", LongShot @ 8.0 to 8.4 will be about right based on what I have seen...

Good luck and let us know how you make out. I'm also looking for a load similar to yours.

I'm about to try The Shadow's Longshot load.
