.577 2.75" BPE w/ Hawk 560 gr RN field report 1
      #147253 - 05/12/09 01:24 PM

Men,

As previous mentioned, Hawk bullets sent me 14 over-run 560 gr. .577 bullets to try out for $16.00 - mostly shipping. They are almost as long as the Woodleigh 650 gr RN had have a small metplat. I would call them more semi-spitzer and look very good - especially loaded. The base is "open" so it will squeeze nicely.

Load 1:

65 gr IMR 4198, CCI 250 primer, 3 felt wads 3.325 OAL: shot 10" apart

Load 2:

68 gr IMR 4198, CCI 250 primer, 3 felt wads 3.325 OAL: shot 5" apart


* No hang fires.

* .010" back-out on left due to recoil.

* perfect bullet holes, no yawing.

* bores look fine.

Next loads:

1: 71 gr
2: 73 gr - if needed (max)


This will leave me with 10 remaining that I will share for those who are interested.
