Ability to adjust lead hardness is a big advantage of casting your own. If I end up going that route, though, I will probably buy a custom mold from Accurate rather than a Lee R.E.A.L. mold. Accurate has a couple of existing designs for bullets that are around 350 grains that look pretty good - very similar to Lewis' I bullet in design with a big flat meplat for shock effect and a wide wound channel. My 1-48 twist Renegade should stabilize a 350 grain bullet well, and that weight would seem to offer good muzzle velocity and a flat trajectory along with decent down-range energy retention.
That is 100% what I would do. That is the right track.
