 I've wondered about buying some of them for plinker loads for my 30-06,
 but if they're that far off, I'll just stick to my regular bullets. ;)
 I can get some hardcast bullets locally for 30-06 plinkers that come in
 several sizes, a .309 dia 150gr FN, 115gr RN and a 100gr SWC. I've used
 these same brand hardcast bullets (Magnus Bullet Co.) for my .44mag,
 45acp and 45-70 and gotten good results.
 I noticed that this same company also has some .32 cal bullets available
 in 100gr SWC, 118gr FN and 98gr WC all in .313 dia, which makes the
 .32 Mag a little more interesting for use as a reloadable trail gun.
