I have been working up some plinker loads for my 30-30. I bought two different hardcast slugs (115 grain coated and 120 grain lubed). Using 11 grains of 700x, I could not get them to stay on a 6-inch target at 50 yards. They were literally all over the place - above, below, to the side. I would have done better with buckshot.
But when I loaded Hornady's jacketed 110-grain softpoints (same charge), the shots all clustered around the bullseye.
What am I missing? I have had good luck with hardcast in my .45LC rifle.
