The advantage to cast bullets, if you cast your own, is you can tailor the alloy to your needs. I do not need hard cast bullets. From the 45 long Colt, a 260 grain bullet, cast from 30/1 alloy, will completely penetrate a Virginia White Tailed Deer from sternum to ham. The same bullet, from 16/1 is capable of complete pentetraion on a buffalo. This is at black powder velocities, roughly 950 fps from a revolver.
For me, binary alloys have worked for nearly 5 decades. And prior to me, they have worked for centuries. Jacketed bullets haven't yet caught up with what can be done with lead.
