Do I need a heavier projectile?

Ok, is .443 good or bad?

I think Lee overestimates the BC on their cast lead bullets. The 300 BLK guys down south often use the 230gr 30-cal Lee bullet and word on the street is that the true BC is quite a bit lower. If it's true, .443 is pretty decent. Shoot it with a known muzzle velocity at various distances and adjust the BC in a ballistics program until the calculated drop matches what you see on paper. That's what I do with my jacketed bullets.

Thanks appreciate the info.
