    I shoot 174 grain 205 grain and 220 grain cast boolits without a check and use 11.5 grains of unique for all of them. Lead is a mixture of coww(clip on wheel weight and range lead water dropped and aged) In a 308 i use .311. In the 303 I use .314. In the 7.62X39 i use .311. Accuracy to 100 yard is good and heart lung shots bleed out in about 30 yards. Boolit recovery is rare.
