I use to cast the RCBS .22 bullet for a #1AB ruger .223 that I figured went 2300fps. Don't remember the powder or any reloading particulars, but it shot into an inch or a little less with 5 rounds and using lynotype it would cause quite a lot of damage to ground squirrels. Someone told me it was because the lyno was shattering on impact...maybe.
