I have 84gn of 2209 under the 400gn Woodleigh for 2300fps but that is a whole nuther thing than the cast bullets under discussion . With the 400gn cast lino bullet Eagle 27 is talking about I had from 62gn up to 70gn 2208 under for max of 2262fps but accuracy was just not obtainable. I tried from faster as in 2206 to the slower 2209 and velocity from 1500 right up to the 2262 for the 2208 load but it was only with the 56gn 2209 for 1712fps that I could get anything like an exceptable grouping, that is under 4in at 55 yds so they would stay on my 8in x8in steel plate.I put over 200 bullets down range in an atteampt to get an exceptable "play" load for the steel plate. It is simply the design of the bullet that precludes better accuracy, and what lead me to come up with the data to have a mould made for the 350gn GC design that has worked so well in both Eagle 27 and Hommer,s respective 404's as well as a member of another forum's 10,75x68 and all with thier differing barrel dimensions that cover different continents makers and time spans..
