Cast Lead Thread ?

[akaroa1]

With cast bullets nearly everything is old wives tales and voodoo, unless it is stuff you have done personally doubt it,
drop your load in small increments like 2 tenths getting a stuck cast bullet out is not that hard but a jacket gunsmith only
Subsonic with jacketed is a waste of time unless using the new specially designed ones
Cast bullets are good hunting projectiles, at velocities from 1200 to 1800+, to get more power increase the bullet diameter
.30 cal is really the smallest to consider stepping up to .35-.38 is better with bullets 200 pus grains

Real hunting projectiles calibers start with a 5 and upwards
If you must you can get away with calibers starting with .45
