A little bit of everything.
My father owns a lot of military NFA weapons so I get to shoot them some, I shoot a lot of hunting firearms for predator / pest control. My latest success with cast bullets was getting a CZ550 in 375 H&H pushing a 280 grain cast running at 2350 fps (chronographed), my next attempt when I get healed up from shoulder surgery will be an AR15 in 375 SOCOM running as a semi auto with a cast 245 grain hollow point for shooting hogs under deer feeders. I will keep working this rifle till I find a load that runs at full jacketed velocity and maintains under 2 inches at 100 yards.
I have many handguns that I shoot often and have switched all of them to cast. Two years ago I bought a box of jacketed 45 caliber bullets to try. I still haven't opened them. I shoot my Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 Magnum to 250 yards open sights on steel but I hunt with it out to 100 yards (open sights). I have several scoped long range handguns that I only take out on Sunday shooting sessions where I can sit, relax and enjoy a little steel clanging. I do own some semi auto handguns, other than my Kimber 10mm Custom they rarely see light of day.
