My favorite would be a 311284 and 21 gr of 4759 for about 1650 fps.

From my Browning 1895, I've cast these bullets and found them to shoot well.

RCBS P/N 82153 .308-200-SIL.
IMR 4198 26.0 Grains

RCPS P/N 82020 30-180-SP
IMR 4064 34.0 Grains

In an original 1895. my favorite load is 28 grains of 5744 behind the gas checked Lyman 311284---215 grain, sized .311, in commercial cases and Fed. L.R. Primers. These chrono at 1755 fps@ 45 degrees and will smack small things out to 600 yards.

Another great cast bullet load, and one that I use more of (because of a 4 cav. mould, and ease of loading) is the 175 gr. Saeco tapered bullet, sized to .311 with 26 gr. of 5744 for 1816 fps@55 degrees.

These same loads, minus 2 grains of 5744, get loaded in an pair of 1895's in 30-40 Krag.---Just as accurate.----------------Sixgun
