What Velocity you getting with your 19 grains?



If I remember right, I think it was 1775 with a Marlin 336 with a 24 inch barrel and 1675 with a Marlin 336 with a 20 inch barrel. It was a very accurate load for me.

The cast bullets I used were from a Lyman 311041 and a RCBS 30-180FN moulds. With the alloy I use, the 311041 bullets weigh 180 grains and the 30-180FN bullets weigh 188 grains. That is including Hornady gas checks.
