    All else being equal. A cast boolit will give more velocity at less pressure than a jacketed bullet. No magic involved, it's just easier to push a lubed, lead boolit down a barrel.

    I agree. To start with, I've always heard that Mothers-in-law require a pure silver boolit. I don't think you can get enough weight for proper penetration casting silver for a .380.
