The 247 grain Keith 454424 SWC (sized .454") over 5.5 grains of Unique gave mediocre accuracy, but shot high. The 225 grain TC-HP (modified Lee TC mould) shot to POA, and grouped fairly well. These sights are clearly regulated for hardball, so I just cast up a bunch of the Lee 235 grain TC, and a 225 grain RN-FP I had Mountain Molds make for me (both of which conveniently drop from the blocks right around .454"). We are homing in on a solution.....(more to come).....
