Depdending on air conditions, I needed up to 4.5 to make major (chrony passed in really rainy, cold and damp weather, so high air density)

Hope it helps

Edited : That was for a jacketed bullet, I misread your post and didn't see you were talking about lead.

Well 4.4 of tight group gave me a PF of 195. Would not recommend that. Better of with 4.1-4.2

Ended up with 3.5 grains

Power factor 172-174 the 4.1 was pushing them out at 850 feet per second. Cast wheel weights. I noticed that they were going much faster than my copper plated bullets. 818 feet per second for 4.4 grains copper plated. Same load with cast lead 950 anyone else notice this phenomena?

Its not as hard to bush the lead out as it is the FMJ or CMJ
