Back in the 1980's, while home recuperating, I read every gun and shooting magazine that could be found.
I ran across some loads dedicated to just 185 grain lead cast semi-wadcutter bullet.
One used Unique, about 13.7 grains…way over anything published…and the other using Bullseye, weight data lost.
The text indicated that since the bullets were lead that excess pressures would not be encountered, because the lead acted as a lubricant. I loaded several starting below the published max and worked up to the 13.7.
Worked great. No signs of over pressure, and really no EXCESSIVE recoil. Very crisp holes in paper targets.
I lost the Bullseye load and would like to find it. Does anyone have any ideas or know where to find the data? The www. Has been searched several time, no trace.
Thanks.
