General Comments:
The National Bullet copper-washed LRN makes a cheap, fun plinking load. The
copper-washing reduces the amount of leading in the bore over regular cast
LRN bullets. I've grown quite fond of these in many calibers.
(1) This load was intended as a low-noise CBee-type load for dispatching pests (e.g. rabbits munching on your garden), etc. without alerting the neighbors. This load isn't quite there in terms of low noise, but it's getting better. The gun cycled all but one round (stovepipe), so a 15# spring might be in order. I'll take this down a bit more since there appears to be some room to go on the low end.
