I have shot many thousands of rounds of hard cast SWCs in 215 gr. from my Ruger Redhawk .44 mag. Good bullet, easier on recoil than heavier and accurate. I also have used thousands of 245 gr. Keith type SWCs. See no advantage, from an accuracy standpoint in one over the other but the lighter is less tiring when shooting all day.
