I am lookin for input on the best bullet design/manufacturer for 100 yard cowboy lever match. Suggestions?

Try the 330 gr Lyman-Gould bullet. It is available in FP and FP HP. It is supposed to be the best all around hunting bullet for the 1886 Winchester and similar rifles.

I like the Lyman. I use the Lee 405 gr hollow base mould and great results from both single shot and lever gun with this bullet.

Hope this helps

The Lee 405 grain flat base is also a good mold fer lever guns, if yer not plannin' on shootin black powder. If yer goin with BP through, the 405 hollow base mentioned above would be a good one fer a lever gun!
