LEE 240gr tl on deer
« on: November 16, 2009, 07:13:05 AM »
I have a Lee mold and cast some ww into bullets. I have been toying with the idea of using them in whitetail. I'm loading 12.5 grs of IMR SR4756. Shots will be close under 75yrds more like 5-50yrds should this work or am I dreaming?

AS LONG AS YOU START LOW AND WORK UP, you should be fine. That 12.5 /4756 load is near to MAX in my Lyman book. Practice a bit before you plug a deer and invite us over for venison!!
