What are the advantages, if any, to using jacketed bullets as opposed to cast,against larger than deer sized game in slower cartridges such as the 30/30? They would gain little if any in velocity, what about penetration?
For conversation sake, let's say they were cast from Lyman #2 but with a soft lead tip. Would that resultant bullet be the equal of a jacketed bullet of the same weight, traveling at the same velocity?
Conversely, are there any advantages to using cast over jacketed?
What about larger bore cartridges in the same velocity range, such as 35 Remington and 444 marlin?
