    Yep, got a 32-20 bolt gun as well. Savage 23C with quite a good barrel.

    Haven't done anything with it for 6 years so need to get back to it.
    Had less than satisfactory success with cast projectiles and that included Starline factory ammo. Need to do more work on cast loads.
    Was using 93 gr cast from Neil Hayes IIRC with either Lil'gun or Unique.

    Jacketed bullets however hum in the old gun.
    Use Hornady 100 gr XTP and Sierra 90 gr. Both shoot very well at 50 yards. The Sierra perform the best but are like hen's teeth to find.
    Use either Reloder 7 or ADI 2205.

    Use W-W brass or Starline. CH4D dies.

    For the OP, I'd go a mild cast load.
    Depends upon barrel condition whether it's worth shooting.
