Okay, I got some stuff in the mail. I received my new nipples(I was having trouble with caps needing 2 hits) and I got my Hornady Great Plains 385gr .
So far all I've tried was the FFFg Triple7. Due to allowable time I'm sticking with it for now. My rifle is an older Cabelas Investarms and seems to be a Lyman Trade Rifle with set triggers. 28" barrel, 1-48" twist.
The Lyman catalog states maximum loads as;
.490 RB.............................90gr 3Fg
420gr Maxi.........................80gr 3Fg
So if I'm shooting Triple7 my max loads should be roughly 80gr for RB and 70gr for the 385gr Maxi respectively correct?
I don't want to have any disasters but I am trying to develop a hunting load so I'm looking for some wallop. Of course accuracy first wallop second.
Also can/should I relube the Maxi with Bore Butter?
Thanks for the advice,
Broadbill
