220 grain conical load

[thumbs]

Just got a lee 220 conical mold and made up some bullets. What load would you be using for hunting and for plinking. I am guessing as much as I can get in the chamber and still seat the bullet without interference. I have Goex and T7 both 3f. I can change to 2f if needed but have always used 3f in the OA.

thanks

If you meant "ROA" I have shot 25 grains 777 and they did well. I have a mold that came with it and not sure of the grains.

Gotta shoot it and try different loads for the most accurate. Anything over 20 is enough for hunting up to small deer, IF you can place the shot where it needs to go, in my opinion?

You can get up to 30 grains under the Lee bullet at least. I get 30 under the Kaido 24 in my ROAs.

I meant Kaido 240 grain. Sorry.

I've loaded my ROA with 3F GOEX useing a 7.62x39 case as powder measure many times, topped w/a smear of lanolin for lube. does great, there's little room for more powder. seems I measured it as 32 grs.
