With a fasts twist rate, you do not want the bullet traveling too fast. The lead will deform and not hold true to the riflening. You will also want to be sure to size the bullet and use a gas check. The hardness of the lead mixture you use will be determined by the speed. Best way to test a hunting lead bullet is to fire it onto a steel target (1/2"or more thick) at 100 yds. If the bullet splatters, it is too hard. If penetration is poor and contact area is large, the bullet is too soft. Once you have the right mixture, it will make a great hunting bullet. I would also recommend a hard lube and a heater attached to your lube/sizer.
