    I dont have an original MLE but for my early rifles I load gc cast lead with an adequate but not light load so I can shoot them with out punishing my shoulder.
    cast lead is more forgiving than jacketed when it comes to pressures and not so new barrels. I find the old barrels shoot better with slightly oversize cast bullets.
