[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2294905, member: 75451"] I’ve not actually fire-formed with cast, but, do shoot cast through my .375 AI! If you can get powder coated bullets......leading is a non-issue! If you have a nice, slick barrel ( not rough, or pitted) then you’ll be fine with any decent, fairly hard, gas checked cast bullet.... assuming that the bullet is a thousandth or 2 larger than your bore diameter! A heavy for caliber bullet pushed to 1200 to 1500 fps with a moderately fast powder should do quite well with your fire-forming! I’ve shot a lot of cast bullets through many of our rifles with no ill effects! I’m presently running my homegrown, cast, powder coated, gas checked 430 grain bullets through my 45-70 @ 1790 with no fouling while getting 5 shot groups under 1 1/2” @ 100 yards! memtb [/QUOTE]
