I was shooting some "gift' bullets to day that weigh 165 grains. I am NOT sure if they are 311291's or the Lee copy. # of us took turns shooting 3 shot groups out to 150 yards with my Remington 30-06. a Harris bipod and a redfield 3x9 scope was used also.
35.5/ Imr 3031 and CCI primers. We had NO trouble keeping the groups under 4". Casting your own is the BEST way to get what you want!
I almost forgot the reccomendation for a bullet! A 311291(RN GC) or the 311041(FN GC) will /HAS killed tons of deer,either or both will do.
