Anyone casting their own bulltets for .375H&H (or bigger)?
Not every shot requires an expensive premium copper jacketed bullet pushed to maximum velocity. It looks like a cast bullet in heavy weights 260grs and up with moderate velocity 1700ft/s plus would make a good practice and non dangerous game load. Cheap and fun to make. Long case life and not so hard on the shoulder.

Am not casting my own, but do shoot quite a few cast bullets through my .375 H&H...or, I should say, my grandsons shoot them quite a bit. They will only allow me to shoot a few of them! Great for practice at the 50yd range to work the bolt under a time limit. Of course, before the regular season, switch to full loads.
