Okay. The first thing I'd do is cull all the odd weight bullets. They're worthless.

Their diameters wouldn't bother me unless I had unusually tight throats.

Without question, those cast bullets were put in the old Speer jacketed box just for storage.

As mentioned I'd clean the grease off the gas-check formed base. I've never shot GC'd bullets that didn't have the GCs but I guess it makes it no worse than the bevel base bullets you often get. It might be more prone to leading like that though?

I had some 215gr LSWC-HT coated bullets that weren't coated properly & would lead even with moderate speed powders so I used them up using slow powders (2400, W296 & I4227) with light loads.

You might start with a few using 2400 @ 13.9gr (~1050 fps) to see if they shoot okay without leading and step it up from there if you want. (2400 @ 14.5gr is ~1100 fps). No download issues with 2400.

H110 isn't good for downloading (if that's what these need). I did load some for my "problem bullets" that were below start that shot fine but it's a gray area not worth exploring.
