What prompts this is I got my CMP Garand the other day. I took it out and shot it. I had forgotten what fun they are to shoot, and this one's plenty accurate, too! One holers @ 50 yards!
So, i want to cast for it, and have looked at a lot of stock molds. Is the TC nose considered a silhouette design?
I think sometihng in the range of 170 gr sohuld be about right. It's not going to be a hunting rifle, and I really doubt it will shoot cast pills for long yardage, so I don't need a high BC. Are most rifle boos bore riders?
The other thing to mention is a GC is a must. I will try to push this to cycle the action. don't know if that will take 2000 FPS, or a little less, but will need a GC in any case.
What have you got you like?
