Personally I like cast bullets for light loads and plinking. They're cheap to buy or cast, and they burn very little powder. With a 170 gr cast RN bullet I can use Unique and get roughly a 1,000 rounds out of a pound of powder. The starting load in the Lyman manual is only 7 grs. And the recoil is virtually non existent.
