I have been using this Minnie out of my CS Richmond. So for I have only fired it with 777, but with 60gr 777 at 100 yards I have had no trouble keeping all shots inside a three inch shoot-n-see. I don’t have the mold I buy mine from Track of The Wolf.

The Lyman 577611 is an old design for heavy hunting charges, it has a heavy skirt but properly sized can give good accuracy but not with light target loads. A favorite deer bullet particularly ion Parker-Hale rifles. The P-H also likes the Wilkinson-Krupp.

I have a little amplifying info on this subject: I went to the range today shooting Goex 2fg and the Lyman 577611. With 65 gr at 100 yards I was on point of aim but about 1 inch low. I think this Minnie will work well if pushed. Say 67gr to 70gr 2fg.

Thanks for the information. I went ahead and bought the mold. It came comeplete with handles in new condition for 30 bucks, figured I give it a try.
