Given the softer steels of the older rifles I'm always reluctant to run many jacketed bullets down the bore(s). In my experience and, especially from BP cartridge rifles, a good cast bullet is as good as any jacketed bullet regardless of the game....that is until a fella starts shooting really big stuff that bites back. No thin skinned game will know the difference if the shooter does his part.
