A friend and I never could get good accuracy with cast bullets in his Marlin .44 Magnum, even up to .432".
My Remington 788 .30-30 has a tight chamber neck and will not accept the larger cast bullets that I would expect to be more accurate.
My .30-06s do fine with LIGHT loads and hand cast bullets.
I think we expect too much out of rifle bullets cast like bulk pistol bullets capable of "one ragged hole at 7 yards," and there is too much emphasis on high velocity.
