I have in mind seeing if i can push a minie to faster speed to do some long range shooting; 300-500 yards. My current load of 60grs fffg behind a pure lead 500 gr minie shoots 3MOA @ 100 yards if I do my part, but falls off at 200.
If I mix 10% wheel weights/90% lead can I push them to higher velocity before the skirt deforms? That's what I think causes my group spread. Maybe increase to 20%, see how far this goes.
Has anyone done this, heard of this?
Thoughts, comments, opinion?
Thanks.
