I'll say it again, I'm not sure I want to get into casting, or even shooting store bought cast bullets, just researching for now. But thanks alot for your advice. Dropping down to 30-30 speeds was with jacketed bullets in mind, no to mention alot softer recoil. I would use bullets designed to function properly at those speeds as well.

Again thanks alot for your comments!
