I was very heavy into cast bullets 20-25 years ago using them in .30, .358, and .45s. They are accurate and I never had a failure when using them on game either. I've only ever recovered 2 and these were from elk and cast from very soft lead, about 5 BHN. Below are the pics from left to right: bullet before patching, patched bullet, .45/70 loaded round, bullets taken from elk that were against the skin on off side.
