I'd try a cast 300 gr. gas check bullet for the rifle. The RCBS 44-300-SWC is a good one and can be had in a double cavity mould. The mould we have casts at 313 grs. Most guys I know use the same loads in both sixgun and rifle. About 21.5 grains of H-110 should do it with most 300 gr. bullets. If the 300's won't fly straight go to a 250. We make the Lyman 429244 which is a 245 grain gas check SWC designed by Thompson. It's a great bullet and Lyman still sells the moulds in both 2 and 4 cavity. The Thompson bullet works great in sixguns also.
