[QUOTE="Miller Outdoors, post: 407121"] I suspect that cast lead couldn't handle the pressure and heat of any modern loads going near 3000 fps. I think the lead might even start to melt and leave significant deposits in the barrel. To go really long range I think you'd have to go with a really big bullet from a 45cal+ barrel and lob them in.
