I could not find an answer to this question with any quick Googling so I'm asking here.
Can you substitute a cast bullet in a recipe that calls for a specific jacketed bullet as long as the mass of the bullets are the same?
I understand that driving a cast bullet to jacketed speeds will cause leading very quickly and that it may not work worth a damn because of many different factors involved, but will things explode?
I'm asking because I cast a bunch of 158grain bullets but they all came out in the 160grain range. I can't find a recipe in my books for a cast 160grain bullet with the powder that I want to use, but I can find one for a jacketed 160grain. Would there be any harm in using the jacketed bullet recipe with the understanding that it may not be ideal?
