I agree that casting is the best way to go.
If theres a worry of leading, shoot a gas checked bullet and make sure its .001 or .002 bigger than the bore dia.

I shoot 245gr SWC with soft 50/50 alloy (pure lead/WW) with a gas check at 1660fps all day long with no leading at all. Very accurate too.

There is a couple places that sell lead bullets on line that would fit the bill, but I dont know the names off the top of my head.
