I was carefull when sorting lead(recycled the zinc & steel out ) But i did not have any Tin to add when i cast ,i did "carefully" water quench out of mold,
I slugged the barrel , looks to be .3560 ,Most my bullets seem to be around .3570 / .3580
I loaded ten rnds, on 3.7gn. W231 with COL at 1.130 .using LEE 4-PC dies,Tried them last knight recoil seemed average & they all fed w/o any problems
I did not think the accuracy was near as good as my plated rnds, i load w/115gn Xterm rn & hp with 4.4gn. W231,
maybe it was too cold out and i was freezing my A$# off.
I guess i will load a few more and try them on a warmer day.
MANY Thanks for ALL the good tips !!!!!

Seeking advise

However the bullets are .357 & .358 in Dia.and wheigh in at .130 gn. as a average.cast from WW
Will this work in m Ruger SR9 or do i need to buy a sizing die. will be loading with Win 231 & CCI primers,mixed brass
if any one has any load sugestions with COL.it would be greatly appreciated. Thanx !!

Help with cast bullets & accuracy,

Accuracy is not what i had hoped for,is load too lite ? COL wrong ? not sure what to try next. any sugestions would be greatly appreciated
