Hello from Scotland
Whilst looking into cast bullets for the .444 Marlin I have come across many who swear by them as effective game getters, not only accurate but also fantastic penetration with no bullet break up. So convinced am i by all the good things i have heard i shall be feeding my .444p a cast diet.
I have also been struck by the absence of cast bullet enthusiasts in popular smaller bores such as .243,257,6.5mm, 7mm,.308,.30-06 I was wondering why should this be the case ? Is it that cast bullets are better suited to big bores? or simply that there is plenty of cheap ammo around for these smaller more common calibres ?
Can anyone shed any light on this ?
I also have a .308 m-bolt which currently has a diet of jacketed bullets can any anyone suggest a good cast bullet for Deer?
Best wishes from across the pond
