In my carry gun's, both 9mm, I use jacketed but cast to practice with. In my other CF handguns all I've shot for a lot of years is cast. Started using cast to control recoil in a 357 mg. Hate recoil especially in a handgun. Worked up a cast load for my 30-06 and 308. Just the 308 now though. Some day want to hunt deer with it! The 30-06 has become my elk rifle and shoot's only 180gr jacketed bullet's.
