After reading Bass post, I can see now I do not qualify for any statements for cast bullets beyond what I have said. The reason is quite simple indeed...I have never considered using any cast bullet beyond what is considered brush gun distance as being a little over 100 yards. And any design I ever had mold cut for were to be used within that distance. Beyond that, I relied on jacketed bullet designs that had proven themselves.
I am not a paper or target shooter. Nor am I concerned much about the BC within the range I use cast bullets. I always have been more concerned with a bullet's lethal potential. And, while I did shoot at Camp Perry for years, never considered benchrest shooting with cast bullets. I would guess that one that shoots long range with cast bullets would have a design that matched proven jacket bullet designs....but I really do have a clue about that. Many of the things Bass spoke of apply also to jacketed bullets
I feel I was mistaken about what was the main goal here. I thought it was about game bullets....for that I apologize. Everything I have worked on was based on game bullets. When I started this thread by posting some specs for bullets I thought were good game bullets.....that is as far as my intentions went.
However, I will watch with interest as the dicussion broadens out to cover long range concepts.....James
