I am finally getting around to doing some load development for my PC rifle. It's a Marlin 1894 Cowboy - 24 inch barrel. I have tons of W231 powder and 125 grain cast bullets. Anybody have a load that shoots really well at 100 meters with this combo?

I use 5.4 grains of 231 with a 125 grain cast bullet. it will shoot around 2 inchs at 100 meters on a good day. important to get the bore good and clean after shootung
