Not a horrible idea. Eventually it'll be time for "by guess and by golly" (whatever that means). I've read a bit on 5 shot conversions and 6-shot minimal tolerance cylinders. Mine is just a normal out of the box Buckeye special .. with a home trigger job of course. Hornady's data gets the 200 grain XTP to 1050 fps or something like that. I think with cast I can probably do the same with 15 grains more bullet. I don't need any more than that .. I just want to push that sharper shouldered bullet fast enough to make a permanent hole through a buck. So far the gun shoots faster with IMR 4227 but a bit more accurately with 2400 .. but that's with 180 grain lead. I didn't really like the look of those for hunting.
