Dick,

My 788 shoots outstanding with the loads I run through it and really don't feel the need to run cast through it. Once I work up a PC load maybe I will see how it shoots them. My 722 shoots very good but I am more willing to use it as a platform to work up the cast loads. I also have a 722 in 222mag, another gun that I have that shoots incredible groups for a hunting rifle and I feel no need to play with any other loads.

I'm really starting to doubt whether I will be able to reach my goal of accuracy with the reduced load cast bullet. I don't seem to here many people say that cast shoots great, just good. I have rimfires that shoot great, 17hm2 also great out to 100+. 150yds is the magic number here, If it cant realize 1 1/2" maybe a little more off the bench then I wont see much of a need for the loading.
