    I picked up some Cast 203 grain bullets.. from blackout brass.com.
    and am using Lil Gun... as my powder
    CCI 400 ..primers.

    I have load data for 208 projectiles but those are jacketed. my question is where should i start

    the info I have is 8.3 gains.. of lil gun to get 1047fps out of 208 jacketed , from what i gather though loading cast is a bit different


    just looking for some direction yall thanks.

    At that low of a velocity, go by the data.

    Check it for leading, and if none is evident, load on.

    You would be well advised to have a chrono to measure velocities and work the load down to the subsonic range a bit at a time to ensure you don't stick a bullet in the barrel.. ;)

    Cast boolits lead up the barrel if driven too fast, but a too slow sub is a larger problem in and of itself, so it's a fine line to determine the right charge wt.. ;)

    I hope the can is cleanable. Otherwise you run the risk of leading the can.
