I'm going to embark on a project which will be new to me. Namely 22 centerfire cast loads. I have a single hole Lyman 225415 which supposedly throws a 50 gr. boolit as opposed to the 55 gr it is listed as.I have all the hardware other than a lubrisizer, which I can borrow (no Star die).
I have Lino. which I will be trying, staight, but is there any other alloy I should consider? I have pure, COWW, and analyzed range scrap to work with. I can put together just about any combination I want.
The quest will be to develop loads with 22 Mag. ballistics, think squirrel gun application here. Test vehicle will be a Ruger 77/22 Hornet.
Would appreciate "been there/done that" as opposed to theoretical opinions.
for hunting use get away from linotype.
in squirrels and such it will just poke a hole through them.
the softer alloys will give results closer to jaxketed.if you are trying for about 1400 fps I would do something like 8 parts pure to 1 part lino and water drop it.
you will have to play a little to make sure you have enough diameter from the mold to work in the rifle.
it's all an educated guess,,,, till the trigger is pulled.the more i find out about shootin boolits, the more it contradicts everything i ever learned about shooting jaxketed.
I prefer COWW + a little tin in all my 22 loads.
Same I prefer COWW + a little tin in all my 22 loads.Same here, with 3-4 gr Unique or 3 gr Bullseye and small pistol primer. Have fun!You may not post new threadsYou may not post repliesYou may not post attachmentsYou may not edit your postsForum Rules
