First topic message reminder :

Can someone suggest a load for Missouri bullet co's 185gr 45 button bullet. I've had horrid results with loads of 3.6 N310 , 4.0 WST , crimped to .465 , various seating depths. The bullets are well cast , .452 dia. , weight spread of 1.5 grs hi-lo. I can't find fault with the bullets, but am getting >6" groups RR at 50 yds. vs <3" w/Zero 185 or200 lswc with similar loading . I've had trouble in the past with similar bullets from other suppliers . I thought that was the go to bullet design for accuracy , but I can't seem to get anything better than a rough pattern. At this point I'd be happy with a 3" group at 25 yds for short line practice , just to prevent having an almost full box of bullets go to waste. BTW , similar results with Zero 185 buttons, now discontinued? , Berry's 185 flat point. Gun is accurized , <2" w/ factory target ammo, Bar-Sto barrel. Any ideas? Richard
