I cast my own 200gr bullets with a LYMAN #314299AV 2 cavity mould. Right now I am using pure lead, no gas checks, alox bullet lube(Orange smelly crap LOL), and swaging them to .311. My dilema today is that I went to the range with 10 rounds loaded with 13.5gr of GREEN DOT (Max Load in LYMAN Cast Handbook +/- 1550fps) The only difference between the rounds was the use of REMINGTON 9 1/2 MAGNUM primers and CCI 200 primers. I was keyholing them @ 50 yards. The only thing I can think of right now is to not swage them and shoot them as cast, or go to the 210gr version (it has a lot more bearing area, i.e longer shank).

I did try to work up loads with this powder and what-not but I had the rifle leaned up against the chair and it fell over bending the tube on my FAVORITE scope, I was mad(but that's another story....Can anyone tell me where I can buy and send a scope to get a new (i.e same as my busted scope) recticle???? Thanks.
