I have a couplel hundred Rem 405JSP loaded over 51.0 gr IMR3031 and have killed everything I shot them into but am thinking I'd like to load some cast bullets at around 300gr to 2000-2200 fps. for hunting eland in Africa any suggestions as to which cast bullet to load...I'm not up on casts.

Check out Beartooths site. Hard and gas checked. Pushed fast for flatter trajectory and long shots. I do like their new 350 gr Pile driver lite! The 350 has a huge meplat! ;D I gotta order some.

If I were going to use a 300ish, I would make these

Hi Pard,
I could not agree more. This projectile has the right mix of meplat size, weight, ease of casting and easy and cheap lube/sizing.
