I have just received from Missouri Bullet my Lead RN 230 gr. bullets. According to Hodgdon website, the low load for these rounds is:
4.5 grs. H. Universal with C.O.L. of 1.200” producing 703 fps.
From my Speer Manual 13th Ed. the low load for these rounds is:
5.2 grs. H. Universal with C.O.L. of 1.270” producing 748 fps.
I would like an informed opinion of the effect of C.O.L. on shot performance.
Additionally, since I always like to start at the lowest load on a new bullet load and work my way up, I would like to know of any pitfalls with starting at the 4.5 gr load?
thanks for any info,
Jim
