Sieger,

Thanks for the thoughts on powder charge. I'll try lightening things more.

I'm using 124gn Lee molds, and the lead is coming out weighing 130gn after resizing.

I'll try lightening things up. The 4.2gn number I had was documentation for JRN bullets in a couple of the reloading books.

I finally got a chronograph and was measuring these loads and the 4.0gn JRN loads. There was a considerable variance in my loads (25fps std deviation) and they averaged 1165fps so these are definitely hot.

Off to the casting furnace for more.
