Greetings,

I am about to start reloading for several rifles with bad bores.

I wondered if anyone has ever experimented with different bullet types to see which works best.

My hunch is that long, heavy, jacketed round nosed bullets driven fairly slow (more or less at cast bullet velocities) would work the best. The long heavy bullet should give the most bearing surface & the low velocity should minimize bullet stripping in the (now shallow from rusting away) rifling. I don't think that cast bullets would work well with a lot of pitting present - too much fouling.

Any experience, or thoughts?

Thanks.
