I have this boolit it is the Lyman 245496 85 gr. Loverin design. I've had this mould and a Mossberg ATR in the .243 cal. for years and have not done anything with either. Our gun club had a 4 gun shoot and one of the stages was a 4" gong at 200 and 300 yards. I wasn't set up for this stage and had to use a range gun .223. Thought I might see if this combination would do the job. What I would like to do is drop the velocity down to 1,800 to 2,100 fps. I'm looking for feedback on those who have used this setup especially this boolit, I lube my pistol rounds with BLL or I powder coat them any thoughts on lube, it seems from what I read both should serve for this velocity.
New to rifle reloading so any help or advice would really be appreciated.
