    lee 309-129R for Christmas

    I have found that my wife is giving me a Lee 309-120R for Christmas. I have several 30cal molds on hand but as has been said many times 'you can always use another one'. I'll be using this primarily in my 30carb but also have 30-30 and 06 to load for. What is your most accurate load for this boolit in these guns? I normally use WWwith 2% tin for my alloy and I have 2400, unique, RedDot, BlueDot, 4895, 4227 which seem to be suitable for this loading. I'm looking for accuracy more than a hunting load. Any advise will be welcome.

    I have a bunch of those cast up and was going to load them in 30 Carbine but was told "you can't do that cause it'll lead up" . I am going to start over with that project now that I have found out that you can. I did shoot a few but at the time but 110 jacketed bullets were cheap and I did not stick with it. I was using WC 820 but might try 2400 and or blue dot because I have those powders.

    It's on my list to do.
