You can run into some other problems when you shoot cast. First, clean the copper out of the bbl thoroughly before switching to cast. Next, measure your cylinders and bbl diameter. Two considerations: the cylinders shouldn't swage the bullets smaller than the bbl diameter. Next, the bullet diameter should be a thousandth over bore diameter. I have bought cast bullets and usually run into problems with them. Often, they are too hard and that can cause leading. The bullet lube is typically very hard and doesn't work well, at least for me. I've even melted it out and replaced it with a good lube. And again, check the bullet diameter. I've always had better control using my own cast bullets and accuracy, as I can match the bullet to my gun(s). It may sound like a lot more work but to me it really expands the area of reloading. Besides, I concluded years ago I didn't need JHPs to punch holes in paper targets.
And I consider Unique a good mid-power load powder.
