Cherokee Are you sizing them the same?

Both bullets are sized .311 in Lyman 4500 using CR lube

I'm no expert here but my gut feeling says a bit more powder in the 155 may be worth it.
But Just for the record: I have uncanny success in 30 cal with Red Dot and Unique so much so I recently purchased American Select...which is dead middle of those two.
Don't get me wrong winchester powders are great and my shelf is full of them but for plain base loads in rifles I just like the large flakes! I think one of the great minds here likened it to "a leaf blower effect " when the primer goes off

For the 155 gr., I've got some Red Dot that I was planning on trying, and then some Unique.

JW....I too am going to go with my gut feeling.
A softer lube might help, CR is awfully hard and may cling
a bit.
Of course my suggestion would be Ben's Red or 50/50 or still yet a couple of coats of BLL.

I was kinda thinkin' Lee soup can and a few grains of Red/Green Dot or Promo. Adjust the charge to hit POA at desired distance, and have at it.

That would work or I was thinking the 311-93-1R or 311-100-2R would work better for over 50 yards.
