Makes a fun to shoot gun that won't make you sore.

Those round ball loads that others are talking about are interesting but why not get a proper bullet mould like that Lee c430-310-rf? You have to be careful that u get a mold that ojive isn't to big or long so you can keep your overall length correct.

The 444 should be a good cast bullet gun?
There are a couple of cast bullets that shoot in a micro groove barrel, but I believe that most don't.

I'd like a reduced load that won't beat me up. But I'd also like to develop a load that will kick the crap out of someone if they ever ask to shoot my rifle.
