Hello, I asked this question at another site, but was hoping for your opinions: This Sept. the Muskegon Rifle & pistol Club in MI. is having "Kangaroo Cup" match, fired prone at 300yds. Can use two rifles, thought I would use my .40-70 Sharps straight & 1898 Krag. Yesterday spent 8 hr. casting sesson which included Ideal#311467 Lovern style, weight 180grs. Only shot this bullet to 100yds. with 18.5gr. IMR4227. Very accurate but probably underpowered for 300. At another site, Lyman #314299 was said to be more accurate at extended range & able to withstand larger charge. My groove dia. is .310 so can use larger bullet. The Ideal .311467 I have has 8 narrow bands. Nose dia.:.302, 1st. band:.3035, 2nd. band: .3055, remaining 6 are .314. What do you think? Do I need another mould? (just what I need). Thanks guys!
