Nothing wrong with being a cast bullet guy.I'm one too.Being new to handloading,I think it's easier for the fellow to try a jacketed bullet that's out there.
Yes, I agree. I'll also plead guilty of driving the topic off into the weeds. I did think though that the OP's question was well and truly answered in the first few replies. I will say also that my bullet casting started hand-in-hand with my intro to handloading back 50 years ago now, with a Lyman mold and a .30-40 Krag and more questions than answers- which my 15 year old self mostly learned the hard way.
