I think I finally found THE load

I have been trying different bullets in the DST high wall I picked up at the Post Falls gun show last July.  I had to wait until I had my cataract surgery to see the iron sights.  I took it out today with 2 Accurate moulds, the 32-185P and the 32-165P.  The 185P tips slightly but shoots much better.  Here is the group I shot this morning.

Looks great with iron sights. Lesson is get the cataract surgery as soon as you can swing it.

Jack, when you get the other eye fixed the bullets will stop tipping.

Uh, Jack, who ya kiddin'? I just laid a tape measure on my laptop screen and I measured that group to be more like 4". Sheesh. And the bullet holes are obviously .40-45 caliber. Double sheesh.

Gary you must be rich to have such a large screen laptop.  Looks right on my phone.

Do they have a good back surgeon in Raton?  I will probably be having surgery after the Tacoma single shot match in mid September.

Jack, have you tried 12.0 gr? It should stop the tipping.

Well it seems that even though I found the load, I can't find the Accurate 185P mould that I cast those bullets from.  I will continue looking, but I have a sneaky feeling that I might have sold it.  Note to self.  DO NOT SELL ANY MOULDS!

Okay, now go back to Accurate Molds and buy this mold. The 32-180D.

This is how it shoots in my 32-40. I'd send you some bullets but they measure .326 at the base.

Tell me about it!  I foolishly sold a Hoch 376310 because I had two, not realizing that my "spare" had been abused in a previous life and didn't cast nearly as well.
