Home Forums Reloading Bullet Casting What diameter do cast bullets perform well

I'd say for every about every bullet diameter, you can make cast work the same as jacketed as long as we are talking velocities under 3,000 fps..

Softnosed bullets and heat treated shanks are preferred, but plain old heat treated wheelweights can give weight retention (and damage) similar to most cup and core bullets if within velocity impact limits and a nose shape that dictates expansion.
