(1/2) > >>

Just started with getting serious about the sport.
 Wanted a good CAS load using 200 gr lead bullet .429
What is good load?

Thanks

Drydock:
5 grains of Red Dot.  Red Dot is my go to CAS powder.

 :)  You Betcha  ;)

Start off with 14 - 15Gr by weight, 3f APP, then top off the case with Cream-0-Wheat to the base of the bullet.  No compression.

Little more sizzle, just fill the case to the Bullet base with 3f APP.

My own load is a 165Gr RNFP, APP to the bullet base.  I also use the exact same loading for 44 Russian cases, same bullet

Abilene:
3.5gr Clays with 200gr RNFP.  Hodgdon's minimum.  Clays is hard to find now but Clay-Dot is available.

I shot those for a while but have switched to a 180gr RNFP with Trailboss for pistol loads.

Thanks to all for the quick responses to my inquiry
