Trying to load for some low power loads for a K-98 with Trail Boss. Gun slugs at .317/.323. Tried some 170gr .324 store bought cast bullets. No luck. Gun shotgunned them. Then I tried some 198gr FMJs. They shot pretty good. So do these mil surp guns prefer heavy bullets for what I'm doing? Do they need the longer, heavier bullets to shoot well? Something that gets closer to the lands? One reason I ask is, once I get the K-98 settled in, I'm gonna start loading for a Swiss K-31. I have a lot of 308 bullets to choose from. Just wondering if I should start with the heavy ones.
