Have you considered a Paper Patched bullet?
I have a couple that shoot fantastic. For a pointed bullet the Accurate 44-390P is a great bullet. I shoot it in my target rifle. It drops out at 401...

There are times I think what would have happened if I had not ever developed this bullet for a muzzleloader bullet. I honestly don't know where I would have landed. I'm just glad I got to here with...

This thread hasn't been updated in a long time.
