Recipe for 180 gr lead bullets with Accurate powders

[Kaumheimer]

FWIW, it was suggested that I try the FBI load. Well I did so with a Berry's 165 FP.  Fairly consistent except for one flyer at 25 yards with a notched type rest on the bench. Not sure if it was luck or a great load. It was not as accurate at 50, or perhaps I didn't do as good a job pulling the trigger. Looks promising for this bullet.

BTW, the caption on the jpeg says HP but it was definitely FP. Mea culpa...

Just got a bunch of bullets in attached photo. It's 180 gr that a local guy cast for me. I am starting with some AA#5 loads (7.4 gr and 7.7 gr). I also am taking a cue from this story which had some interesting ideas for AA#7 loads:

Will see how this works. I've got plenty of bullets so I'm hoping they'll be accurate at 100 yards.  Otherwise I'll have to give them away...

Nice Bullet...it should feed well and fly straight.  What is the Diameter?  What gun are you going to shoot from?
No.5 7.5 gr. @ 1030 fps
No.5 8.3 gr. @ 1171 fps 35,800 psi

No.7   9.2 gr. @ 1032 fps
No.7 10.2 gr. @ 1173 fps 34,500 psi
