I ordered an American Ranch Rifle in 350L. I would like to make this a dedicated cast bullet rifle to be used for target (50-100 yards) and game ranging from rabbits to something as large as a beaver. A few questions for those who have fooled with this cartridge:
- I was thinking of trying Accurate 36-180LG, but I really want a plain base mold as I plan to powder coat and won't be pushing these too hard. Any suggestions on a plain base mold? Would a 9MM mold like a truncated cone work?
- What do you guys size these bullets to? Will I need to slug the barrel in order to know?
- I would like to stick with a powder I have and have lots of rather than trying to find something specific. I am only looking for an accurate, low pressure load doing 1200 to 1600 FPS so I am wondering if I can get away with using trail boss, unique or 2400. Anyone tried these powders?
