Or you could start a new cast target comp. And they run at $40/100 plus shipping. Cast Boolits website has info on cast in 6.5mm rifles. Has a decent following. I'm about to start shooting Walkers in my CZ 6.5x55mm Swede. Not everything has to fly at a zillion feet per sec. And think of the extended barrel life

This! But be warned, lead is getting harder to come buy. My next rifle will be a 357 or 44. However most 30 cal shoot cast boolets like champs. Never tried smaller calibers but have a couple of .22 dies! I guess the lead will last a while making 50 grainers.
