Greetings and thanks in advance. I’m going to be in possession of a Colt National Match Gold Cup . Any thoughts on loads? I have 3 different 215g moulds but I’m open to advice.

Free bullet. applause

 Always used between 5 and 6 grains of 231 myself. Standard was 6.0gr of 231 with the H&G 68 bullet.

 

With rifle in hand, I confidently go forth into the darkness.

I'm in the 4.0gr. Bullseye camp with both the H&G 68 and H&G 130. My Gold Cup can't make its mind up which one it likes best, so I mostly cast 185's for it anymore. At least that way I get a free bullet with every 12 I cast, with them weighing 15 grains less than the 200's.

Hang on to that Gold Cup.  Nothing shoots any better.  I like 700-X.

I shot the same 3.5 grain weight until I added a scope, then went from 3.5 grains to 3.7 grains.

W-W 231 works very well.

I used it several decades ago when Bullseye was so dirty to shoot.

H&G 68 with 4 grains of Bullseye is an old standby. Same charge with WST also very good.
