I decided to try my Savage .223 Tactical with cast bullets, but I'm having trouble finding any up-to-date loading data. My .222 Sako will shoot 1 1/4" with 20gr BLc2. There are 4 bullet weights to try, and I'm wondering if 22 cast pills are similar to.30 cal. Meaning most loads that shoot good in one .30 cal usually do as well in a similar sized case.
