I'm contemplating a new mold, the 405 FN GC. I don't mean to hijack anything here but y'all are talking about that bullet.

I've fiddled some with a 325 gr plain base flat nose and not really liking it accuracy wise in my 2016 made Remlin 1895. I don't powder coat so I'm not running them hard at all. And I've kind of set that rifle to the back because of it.

I don't need/want a pile driver load with the 405, Rotator Cuff issues and all that, so I'd be loading to a somewhat tolerable recoil/velocity. Probably, most likely, with 5744.

What kind of accuracy would/should/could I expect from it at a non-shoulder crunching velocity? All the factors that go into making a cast load accurate are a given so no need to kick that stuff around here/now.

No toothy brown bears around here so 100 to 150 yards max on whitetails in the hardwoods is the most I'd probably ever ask it to do.
