So while up at Camp Perry I went to the CMP north store getting feed for my Garand rifle. I'm waiting for them to get to my paperwork when I spy what looks to be an '03 in the rack. Sure enough a whole rack of them..... I grab my paperwork out of the stack and start looking over the old bolt guns. Bunch of nice Remingtons and even a few Smith Corona offerings. Found one gauged 1 at muzzle and 3 at the throat. Bore is darkish looks to have many blank round fired through it as parade and funeral duty. So my savings account took another beating. Gave it a good cleaning and that helped but it is not a new barrel. Lots of JB bore paste helped but still not shiney smooth. Having owned one in the past I know they give me a fat lip when shooting standard M2 Ball ammo. I'm looking for a nice 100~150 yard accurate load with a cast bullet. I have a couple of .308 molds but can't tell you the size right now. I have 2 Lee molds and one steel "lyman" ,I think, mold. So help me out with a good starting point for power charge and bullet weight for the '03. I have a good selection of pistol powders but precious little experience loading rifle with Cast bullets. What little I have done with 303 Brit and 30-40 Krag would often key hole and could not hold paper at 100yd. My thought is to go with lighter bullets to get the speed back up. Share your experience and good bolt gun loads. Thanks in advance.
