I have read a few post about the new Lyman molds not being that good,I bought the 170 grain Lyman new for my 336.
I have not shot my 3006 much in the last few years, getting a little old for the recoil, I loaded up 50 of the Lyman cast with a mid-range load of Red dot,for the 3006. the string over my chrony was a little over 1500 fps.
very nice load, and about the cheapest 06 rounds i have ever shot. the brass was some mil- surplus i pulled the bullets on, a guy gave me a case of the surplus 06 ammo, so all i had in them was the Red dot, and that was left over from my shotgun loading days.and the lead came from some free WW.
I may have gotten a fluke, but that Lyman mold is a keeper.
