Maybe I should test my SWC cast bullets I use for my 38Spl in my 357 Mag and see if I still get decent accuracy.
Using cast lead I should gain an extra +- 100ft/sec compared to CMJ/FMJ. This implies a velocity of around 1900 ft/sec
Will test and report back.

This is the velocity I get from my 357 Magnum rounds when firing out of my Rossi Puma lever action rifle.
I know a couple of guys who run 30 cal plain based PC bullets in AK and 300blk at above 2000 with good results and there are people on cast boolits who claim velocities of up to 2600. I intend testing out my 270 bullets uncheckecked and seeing where I can get them to as I find gas checks an irritation.
