Default RE: Lee REAL Bullets - An Interesting Finding

Hey bronko22000, that group was shot with a Lyman Mustang in-line with209 primers from a solid bench with a Leupold scope set on 9X.

You're right, it's a respectable group for critters, but not so respectable for targets from abench with a9X scope.

Actually, it's the best 50-yard group I've ever gotten with 250 grain Lee REAL bullets. It's also the first group I've shot with Liquid Alox treated fiber wads. I put the wads in a 50/50 mixture of Lee Liquid Alox & regular rubbing alcohol, then put them in the sun to dry.

I'm wondering if the treated wads account in the 100 fps increase in velocity over the last session with the same load and untreated wads.
