Charlie,
Should you choose the heavy/long bullet... I would highly recommend the faster ROT.
1-16 is a good average for heavy bullets.
Something lighter,,, 250 to 260 in the 38-55, 1- 18 to 1-20 seems to work best, but may not give you the range you want.
Light bullets, slow ROT, and long range don't seem to work well together. (for BP loaded rounds)
My best,
Blair
