Well, now you've done it. Since you've started making your own bullets, you may as well just go ahead and start in on crack and meth. Cast bullets are much more addictive, and much harder to go cold turkey from. You will get to where you do not trust commercial jacketed bullets.

got out today to shoot the 460gr and 305gr
460gr lfngc (ballisticast mould) @19gr-h110-1020fps a littla slower than paul h,1"@ 25 yrds no signs of pressure will go to 19.5gr -h110.
305gr pb (ballisticast mould)@29gr-h110 1400 fps,
30gr-h110 1450 fps,1 1/4"@ 25 yrds.using bbt lube seems to work pretty good.also went to 27.5 gr-h110 @ 1330fps (not max)for the 335 wfngc (mountainmolds)still good accuracy 1" @ 25 yrds.casting your own bullets is looking good and kind of suprised about the accuracy.
