I shoot almost only cast bullets. EX: 314299 sized .309", gas check, Lyman Super Moly, 3.000" OAL, 21/IR4227, WLP, Savage M10 308 Win, Simmons 6.5-20X @ 20, --this load will average 5 groups 5 shots 100 yards ~1".
No gas check, 1/2/13, same load but 15.5/IMR4227, 100 yards, 5 shot groups, 1.5", 1.5", 1.4", 1.625", .7" AVG 1.345", working up the no gas check load. I hope to get no gas check load <1.25".
Cast bullets = little recoil, little barrel wear, small cost, smaller noise, great satisfaction.
Go with cast, not so fast.
