rhuff and John S.:
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience. I did have cast bullets in mind as one of the justifications for re-barreling.
And, I actually do swage bullets - lead picket bullets for my .38 C. Foehl Philadelphia muzzleloading schuetzen rifle. But no jacketed bullets (at least, not so far).
I also cast bullets, of types and calibers I cannot buy.
But, time being a precious commodity (moreso to the retired and basically lazy), I do not make any type of bullet I can buy ready-made.
And, in this case, I've already called 'dibs' on all of GT's remaining supply of Swiss bullets, which, with the Lapuas I already have, should suffice for all my future shooting of the .30 Luger...
