So I've got a new-to-me American Knight Rifle, .50 cal, in decent shape for the shape it's in. I've got a few projectile options to try first - Powerbelts, Cheap Shot Sabots, and sabots with .45 cal Hornady FTX 250 gr. bullets installed. BUT I also cast my own boolits (technical term) for rifle and .35 cal pistol/rifle. I don't have any .50 cal molds, but is there any reason that I can't cast my own conicals, lube them up and fire away for a less expensive projectile option? I've always read that pure lead is needed for ML projectiles, which I have, as well as other alloy options. Thoughts? Experiences? I know cast boolits are great on game, but will I get the same potential degree of precision with cast projectiles? I keep my current cast projectiles to +-.2 gr. weight deviation.
