    I've cast a heap of 22 Cal bullets intending seriously testing them in my 22 Hornets.
    All are powder coated
    And gas checked because that is what the moulds were and I wanted to run them at a reasonable speed
    Three different bullets
    All are sized for consistency

    Initial test results were disappointing in several known accurate 22 Hornets.
    Then I got given a box of 1000 22 Hornet hollow point jacketed bullets and lost interest in cast small caliber cast bullets.

    Below 30 caliber I'm not sure casting is such a good thing unless you have a very specific high volume use that cast lead is suitable for.
