[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1200732, member: 30671"] I don't think lead offers a practical solution to your dilemma. Casting bullets is like reloading, you have to enjoy it for its own merits. There are custom mould makers with "pointier" designs available. I've seen them in .375 to about 350 grains. I have a 325 grain mould, and it shot extremely well in a #3 .375 Winchester. Never used chronograph with it, but nowhere near your target velocity. Paper patch might get you a bit of velocity, but in the end I would be in the show me crowd as far as accuracy is concerned. You're building a high performance system, it's expensive to build, and expensive to keep running. I would either save the money spent chasing a cast bullet solution, or find a rifle designed with cast bullets in mind. [/QUOTE]
