Cast bullets and speed are usually are mutually exclusive.  Larry

I would expect good accuracy with the 45 gr. bullet.  1 inch at 50 yards would be good for my purposes since I want to use mine for small game at shorter ranges.  The RCBS 55 gr. is Ok, but  I want to try the 45 gr. Lyman, but don't want to get a mold until I am sure that it will work well.  What is your source of bullets?
