Red Barron - Some full and mostly reduced 4895 is all I have really played with. Most all of my shooting is exactly like what you are speaking of (less than 75m offhand)... Of 4198 and Trail Boss which do you reach for first in a wide range of mil. calibers? You may help me decide in that coin toss. I was going to start exploring Trail Boss - but, 4198 has also caught my eye in the past and is also an area I want to explore. I wish I had a Club like the one you are in - it sounds right down my alley. I have not ventured into casting - yet. I have been considering it. I am already fascinated and extremely pleased with the coated and plated lead in my handguns. In the last year, I have noticed more and more coated rifle bullets are becoming available and have yet to try them in my rifles. Thanks for your comments!
