I have a US Krag (Springfield 1898) that I am hoping to shoot something similar to the original service load through so around 220gr bullet going 2000 ft/s ish. I don't mind going slower I'd just prefer to not be using a super downloaded plinking round. Does anyone shoot something akin to the service load through their Krags and if so what kind of powder and bullet do you use?
Where I am in the UK we don't have a huge selection of bullets so not sure I could find anything appropriate which is why I'm thinking cast bullets. I was planning on using this mold:

My bore slugs at .309 though so will probably need to go for something different.
