Loading Pulled Bullets

[LAH]

The bullets came from Pat's Reloading & average 152 grains. They were pulled by Talon years ago near here. I use them in my '06 for practice rounds. The powder is a slow lot of 4895. For these loads I'm using the CCI#34 primers purchased several years ago when powder valley was trying to get rid of them on cheap.

Nice! How consistent are they and how do they shoot?

I have had a few pulled175 and `168 smks that were badly out of spec. I sort mine by ogive and run them through a 308 sizer to make sure things are safe and fairly uniform. Seems to help a lot since no goofy ones get through. Doing this i have gotten very good results out to 600ish yards here (my farthest easily accessed shot).

These bullets have been sized. They aren't great. They vary between 151 & 152 grains. The load I've been using is 47 grains which is a little lite thus the 48 grain load above. With 47 grains my Remington does 1 1/2-1 3/4 at a hundred. It will stay very nicely on the 12 inch plate a 400 yards.
