I am new to this forum so thanks for letting ask my question. I have a Winchester 94 AE carbine in a 7-30 Waters. After owning it for ten years I decided to use it on a hunt last fall an was able to harvest 3 deer with it shooting 120 grain Nosler boattail flatpoints. Has so much fun shooting a lever gun with peep sights. Anyway, my buddy I was hunting with was shooting a cast bullet from his 35 Remington (Marlin 336) and scored on a very nice buck.
I was so impressed with how his cast bullet performed that I would like to load my lever gun with a cast bullet and harvest my deer this way upcoming fall.
Can anyone recommend a cast bullet that is commercially made that would work in my 7-30 Waters? The only bullet mold available with a flat point is from sacceo/redding. The bullet design appears t o have a long bearing surface causing it to be seated well below the base of the neck into the case Would prefer a bullet that will be seated close to the base of the neck. I really don't wan't to have to spend money on a custom mold.
Will the 140 grain beartooth long flat nose work well in my gun or are there other bullets more suitable for my needs?
Thanks
