Tested a new bullet for my 22 dasher today

I'm working on a new project in starting to make my own bullets and market them for my use and resale and did a test today in a very windy day with alot of Mirage and decided to just shoot 100 yds to see if they would shoot.
These bullets used are 75 grns with a 12 secant ogive but the custom bullets I'll be producing will be 80 grn's just didn't have any 80 grn jackets to make em.
The loads today are about 90 fps off my accuracy load in my 22 dasher with the sierra 80's. I'll pump it up with another .3 grns of H-4350 and see what happens as i may not be able to get that much powder in the case and seat the bullet. We'll just have to see what happens.

Sounds interesting James, have you considered an 85 grain projectile? Maybe it wouldn't work with an 8" twist? But would be good in my 7" :)
