I took my new bullet out yesterday to try in my Winchester 670 30/06. It wasn't a total disaster as was expected but needs plenty of work before being match ready. I took Ed Harris's recommendation of trying Win. WST powder. One thing I learned was that Rooster Jacket is a good lube but in my case anyway is limited to around 1100 fps before leading starts rearing it's ugly head. Not serious leading but flakes and strips that were easily pushed out of the barrel but still not right. As an after thought when packing things up I took 25 bullets and dipped the arse end in thinned Lee Alox. With this batch I was able to raise velocity to 1220 fps with no signs of leading and in one case shot pretty well. This was more of a bullet, lube, and velocity test than an accuracy test. The two attached pictures are the results of the shooting. If the writing on the pictures isn't readable the CBA targets are with the Alox lubed bullets and the other target straight RJ. More testing and results to come. All shooting at 100 yards.
