Mk VI .303 loads for a Long Lee

[RangeRover]

First off, let me state I'm new to reloading.

As a result, I'd be interested in getting input from anyone reloading for an MLE as to what loads might work well in my rifle, and correcting any flaws in my thinking thus far.

The rifle is a '96 MLE Mk I (no star), closes on the military no-go but not on the (.074) field gauge.

I've got some new Prvi brass and some .200 gn (.313) cast round-nose bullets and am thinking to load to Mk VI velocities (2050 fps)

Suggestions welcomed, and thanks.

I had bad luck with cast bullets. Only load a few at first to see if they shoot O.K. If you have trouble (tumbling of keyholing) try using Sierra 2310 bullets. I use either Varget or IMR4895 powder with excellent results.
