David, at my request, NOE bullet molds made some base pour versions of the Eagan MX2-30-H. For a cast bullet, it has a very high BC, .451 for the .314 version, which I'm sure you're aware, is really high for a cast bullet. The original seats a bit long in a Krag throat, but Swede has made versions with larger ogives. I already have the original mold, but bought the .314 and .316 versions, as the .300 ogive is a tad small for most of my .301 bore Krags. I can't say Swede's base pour version is 100% as good as Eagans, as I've not not shot any yet. The basing is nearly as consistent. Eagan left a little cup in the base, just a few thousandths deep. With NOE's it'd be the cutoff divet. Others on castboolits bought the mold and seem to be getting some good results. Check out their catalog:

Slower powders work better for me when getting the velocity up to what you're after, 4350 and slower. Incidentally, I've used the standard bullet in my K31, the check is below the neck/shoulder a tad, but both bands are in the neck, doesn't seem to negatively effect accuracy any, so I wouldn't be too fanatical about the check being below the junction. It won't feed out of a Krag, I don't know if your 600yd matches include a rapid fire string.
Swede bases his weight on WW, Eagan used lino and his dropped at 185gr. It seemed to me the bullet had a sweet spot around 2175fps out of my Krags. I got there a variety of ways, most involved slow burners as previously mentioned.
