off topic /need starting load for drilling..

[ffffgdave@yahoo.com]

the cast bullet list has refused this post becouse i did not give the case name.. i guess there is no case name and this designation came from c and h, probably thier name to identify it.. ive been told by lelier and beloit to use 30/40 craig info which says 8 grains unique is a light load.. do any of you have any experience with drillings.. sorry to intrude here but im in a crunch,,all adeas appreciated, please state your experience with your suggestions so i can sort out where the suggestions are comming from.. . thanks dave. the original post was similar to this.

i need surely safe starting load for 9.3 x 72r/360 drilling.. this is not a heavey gun like a .366, or suel, this is a thin barreled 7 pound three barreled gun,,

i want to stay within safe limits for a small
diameter breach three barreled gun..
the smithy says the bore is .360, i get .362 at
muzzel but im not a smith and i didnt drive this one
thru.. the owner of c and h says its the caliber
mentioned above and is sending me the dies.. this
weirdo had a steel base and coiled? brass upper part
of the case.. a german idea circa 1926.. the ferosafe
cast shows a .363 diameter groove diameter at one inch
above the case into a very long lead. as i
said the dies comming from c and h, the cases coming
from l and l...
.360 and .365 30/1 bullets coming
from al at whitehorse bullets.. i also have 3/4 inch
teflon tape, (two wraps about .004- .005), and typeing
paper..wax checks, green foam, fillers etc. the
dies have a .363 expander which i oked becouse i can
sand it down smaller if needed.. the bullets are
plain lead base 190 grain comming lubed.. i need a
starting load to blow out some cases and see what will
come within a four foot circle at 100 yards..

the
books show what look like about 8 grains of unique are
pretty safe in alot of lead bullets loads in this
area..

would it be ok to start with the .365 bullet if
i have a .360 bore..?? or should i see what happens
with the .360 with a couple sheets of toilet paper
over the powder to seal it even tho its possible i
have a .362/.363 bore? ... any comments welcome..

Thats an odd one. Are you sure it isn't a 9.3X74R? If it is, I can probably help you. Your diameters have me puzzled too. A 9.3 typically has a groove of .366 and a bore of .355.
