Precision rifle with cast lead bullets?

[loopy]

What do you all think about using cast lead on a precision rifle. I've read lead with wear down the barrel faster but in terms of accuracy for long range, any thoughts?

ALSO I realized I put this in the wrong section... My bad. I thought I was in reloading not private sales...

I have a winchester model 70 serial number has it manufactured in the mid 50s it has had everything you can think of fired through it and it is still one of the most accurate rifles in the safe..... and if you think about it, lead is softer then an FMJ.

my 2 cents.

lead will not wear down your barrel faster. If you clean improperly then that will wear down you barrel but not the lead. Also using the proper gas checks are important.

Go to the Castboolits Forum and you will learn all you ever wanted on this subject.

I cast and shoot lead bullets and get excellent accuracy with them. Powder selection is key when shooting lead.

There is a Lyman cast bullet handbook which is very informative on what load combinations work well.

I'm interested in your reading material. Does it have Alfred E. Neuman on the cover?

Thanks guys for the information. I'm definitely more informed now, I'll continue to educate myself on the matter before I continue to move forward. [emoji106]
