Just acquired this rifle and am planning on exclusively shooting lead bullets out of it (like all my lever actions). Looking at Montana BulletWorks (I don't cast--long story). I won't go the 120 route do to the slower twist and was angling towards the 95 gr LBT mold as it doesn't have a cannelure like the RCBS 100 gr. Finally, while I haven't (yet) slugged the bore, I assumed I'd go with .258" over the only other MBW option of .257"--thoughts on the above? THANKS

What if your throat needs 0.260?
