I used to use the Lyman/Keith 410459 bullet out of wheelweights, on top of 11.0 Unique. It would shoot 1365fps out of a 6.5" Blackhawk, and it was outstanding for accuracy. It DID recoil a bit, but I never had any problems out of it, pressure-wise, and 1.5" groups at 50 yards weren't impossible at the time. My eyesight and hands (arthritis) probably wouldn't let me do it now, but back in the day.............

I also liked that old Speer half-jacketed 220 SWC, which shot exceptionally well with a stiff load of Blue Dot. It shot so well, in fact, that I never looked for anything other than those two loads, and a plinking load (7.5 Unique, of course).


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
