Some advice please gents.
What cal can go low on velocity (1000 fps)for casts and be acurate(1" or less at 100 yds.On the other side of the coin will be able to consume some 110 grain jackets at 2000/2300fps and maintain sub moa at 100 yds?.On this side of the ocean powders are limited to maybe 3 options and only one brand.Thanx

30 BR is would be my first choice. It's the raining king of Cast Bullet benchrest.

Any of the smaller 30 calibers 7.62x 39 up to 308 should be capable. 7.62 X 39 and 300 black out in a nice medium to heavy bolt action with the correct twist should really shine

A 30-30 bolt action Remington 788 is what you need if you can find one wherever you are.

BO if you can get components. 110 vmax, 2200 fps with 18gr H110 or equal, subs fine too. Fast pistol powder is fun, works best in bolt guns. Used every thing from 100gr speer to 220 subs in mine. Funny, from 100 to 160, not much fps difference for full house loads. Larger cases 30-30/308, etc) use unique/2400/etc but could be position sensitive or need some filler.

Might be easier to decipher if you told us what components are available to you. won't do any good to throw numbers at you if they're out of reach.

Thanks gents.The powder plant here had an explosion,.most powders been sold out.Heard they would be back in production next year. Currently there are some US powder dribbling in but with our pathetic exchange rate it is 4x more expensive than Somchems.I put a halt on my new venture,It is a
matter of wait and see.

nothing will do it cheaper then a BO. 1 inch or better accuracy with cast?? Youd better be a lucky sob to find that in any gun in any caliber. My BO will shoot cast into 2 inch or a tad better at a 100 yards and shoot 110 barnes x bullets into a bit under an inch.
