I have shot hundreds of cast lead bullets out of a .308 Winchester model 70 with no problems, no leading and MOA at 100 yds. Lyman 255 gr. gas check bullets cast hard. Wheel wgt's worked best. Added 1% tin. It was a cut rifled barrel, not like a button broached Savage barrel. If I were to do it with a Savage barrel I would use the Tubbs bullets to smooth out the bore first. All the bullets I used had gas checks and were sized .308 in a Lyman sizer-lubricator. With the proper loads of IMR 4895 there is virtually no recoil. You can shoot all day with no sore shoulder. Great practice rounds.
