If I use a heavier paper or I even tried double patching then running them through the .451" sizer they come out at .452" (likely due to the elasticity of the paper). These go in the barrel fairly easily with maybe 5 lb of pressure. Haven't shot the larger ones yet but plan to as soon as it gets cool enough. I can't stand this 90*+ temps with high humidity.
The RCBS 11MM Bullet is a DANDY, Plain n Simple!! I have some of them on my Counter right now that i plan to Run through my Mountaineer 1 day soon. Ron Has Proven that Bullet OVER N OVER, From Targets to Big Game. I shot it in my Rice 1:20 Twist and it did Darn GOOD! I bet i can “Bug Hole” it with this Scoped Mountaineer
