When you are selecting your lead for distance choose the right lead for the rod. They used to say stick to a lead weight no heavier than the test curv of your rod, example if you were using a 3lb tc rod don’t try casting a 4oz lead! But as the technology of rods and carbon has improved so much over the years, rods can handle a lot more compression being put through them, so you should have no problems what so ever of using a 4oz lead on a 3lb tc rod. If I am fishing at range I would go for a 3.5 oz or a 4oz distance lead, because of the shape of it and its aerodynamics it will cut through the air better than a flat pear, meaning it will go farther.
This post will be all about how to improve your cast!!
