    Since John Browning was alive, 5.0 Bullseye has been the standard load for 230 ball. It will matter not a whit that you are using cast instead of jacketed.

    I like 230 with 5.6 Universal behind it.

    Once again, 5.0 Bullseye is the place to be with this powder. Factory velocity duplication and good functioning and accuracy.

    According to Hatcher's Notebook, the arsenal load used through both World Wars by the U.S. military was 4.6/BE/230 RN FMJ.
