I cast a lot of my own -- I have a Lee 6-cavity mould (surprisingly inexpensive) for the 230 grain tumble-lube bullet. I cast mine of straight wheel weights.
I like a 225-230 gr.cast Truncated cone bullet for my 45's. This bullet shape feeds well, and the flat nose seems to hit a little harder than the round nose. Lays out a jack rabbit much better .... I use these in pin shoots also, they grab the pin a bit better than a round nose. I cast my own out of a Lee mold, but they are available from most casting business's.
I like the 200 LSWC's from Kead Bullets. I think that with the alloy he uses they weigh in about 193-195 grains. I can shoot them slow for bullseye or crank'em way up for other uses.
I load a lot of both the lead 225TCs and 200 gr SWCs in .45 ACP but if I could only have one bullet it would be the 230gr RN. May not cut the nice clean holes in paper as the others but it's easy to load, accurate, and works in most pistols with no feeding problems.
