What do you think of this bullet for .44 Mag hunting/woods gun?

I cast a 265 ish grain wide flat nose that goes about 1100 fps out of my Smith and Wesson 329 pd with a 4 inch barrel. I load it over 19 grains of 296 and it is quite pleasant out of that light gun.

44 mag and cast bullets is new to me, I bought my first revolver in 44 just a few weeks ago and plan to add a Henry lever gun in the near future.
Those Montana cast bullets look great but are spendy. So what about cheaper Keith style cast bullets from like Missouri bullet company and Rim Rock?
 
The Keith style Boolit has a problem cycling in some lever guns you probably should look at a RNFP or if you want to stay with a SWC design a 429244GC should work for you.
I know my Winchester liked them you also might want to look into a gas check you start pushing a cast Boolit at 1600 fps leading could become a issue.

Good all-around 44 carbine bullet, if you're loading your own. This one's a 260gr Keith.
