I just bought a Savage Sporter 23b in 25-20wcf and I'm looking for a 70-75gr mold. I found one at arsenal molds but it's either gas check (don't want to do gas checks) or boat tail. This is going to be a low speed affair so I'm not worried about ballistics. I can see the boat tail as an advantage when putting boolits in cases; does the boat tail contribute to leading at all?
Mainly bought the rifle to fill a perceived hole in the battery between 22lr and 223. It'll mainly be used for targets and critters between coons and coyotes. Should I go with an 87rnfp or a 60? Thoughts?
Shooting standard wheel weight I plan to just lube with Bens Red; as I do for pistol boolits. I'm not opposed, and will probably experiment with, pure lead and powder coat or Hitech.
Thanks in advance.
