[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1200883, member: 30671"] 1) Bullet deformation from initial pressure. There is an actual formula to predict this if I remember correctly. 2) Lead fouling, deformation at the performance levels your seeking. 3) The expense of experimenting with some un named alloy, that either doesn't exist, or hasn't been applied in this way before. 4) You're building a long range rifle, and putting training wheels on it. 5) You're asking your question in a forum committed to long range, and folks are answering you from that perspective. If you're goal is long range cast bullet I'd check into the Black Powder Cartridge, some very good shooting being done that way, and a lot of fun. Sounds like you're a show me kind of person, and that's OK. Cabela's has a Lyman starter kit for $220. Start there, and then search the custom mould makers for one that meets your needs. The Cast Bullet Association is a good source, and has a forum. [/QUOTE]
