There is nothing wrong with shooting cast bullets if you use your head for something besides a hatrack.. I have fired hndreds if not thousands of cast bulllets from a .308 using proper powders and min loading data from the manuals. I hard cast the bullets (using linotype metal or solder in the lead) lube and size them with gas checks. I have never had a problem with leading but then again I wasnt using a Savage with a rough barrel so with a Savage act accordingly. I never saw a sign of high pressure and some powders gave phenomonal accuracy out of My Winchester Model 70. Light recoil is good for kids and ladies as they are cheap and you can get a lot of practice for little money. By the way. The most accurate bullets I have cast came from wheel wgts that most garages will give you free.
