Many years ago H.E. Harrison wrote article on cast bullet bullets and loading. These were in the NRA issues 1957,58,63,59. seven article altogether. He lists the best bullets and loading for all the different riflings from micro to two groove. I settled on Lyman 311291, 311334 and 311316. His articles were for the 30-06. Because I shot with the club here on Grays Harbor during the days of NBFRP I used the 2 groove Springfield barrel with 20 grains of 4198 for the 200 and 300 yard course. I really like the two groove and Lymans 311334. Best group at 200 yards was 2.00" however most groups off the bench were usually more like 3". Light loads as you guys state are the best for general accuracy. For example 12-13 grains of 2400, 4759, and Unique. Shot a few deer with 311334 and 311291 with the same 20 grains of 4198.

Welcome indeed.
Light loads are a lot of fun. In my youth I enjoyed getting the living daylights whacked out of me by Federal Gold Match 308s with the 168 SMKs. There is nothing like a Rem 700 bolt gun to transmit most the free recoil and all of the fun to its handler. This strange habituation continued through about 2005. Turning age 50 seemed to expand my horizons. Getting hammered by 286 grain 9.3mm NosParts at 2400 FPS might have been a contributing factor as well. Such hammering was not as much fun as it once was.
The 30-06 using #311291 and 16.0 x 2400 or 20.0 x 4198 is an accurate, all-day enterprise. I just located and reserved a Lyman #366408 mould to service my CZ-550 in 9.3 x 62 with toward this end, also. I have wanted one of those for a LONG TIME.
