I haven't yet started casting my own but likely will start this coming Spring. In the mean time I am shooting commercial cast bullets. I recently purchased a batch of
.313" 118gr Magnus cast bullets for my 32/20. I do not know their hardness but had a buddy that pushed them fast without issues. Do any of you have any experience with Magnus? I would like to get them into the 1600-1700 fps range but wonder if that will cause leading issues. I have shot mostly Lasercast 115gr since getting this 1894CL in 2005 when they resumed manufacturing them for a while. Does anyone have a favorite "high-velocity" load for the 32/20 and 115-120grain cast bullets they would share?
