There are plenty of folks shooting .357 mag using cast bullets in lever-action rifle silhouette. Mostly for the pistol calibre out to 100m, but a few use them in the open class out to 200m with good results. They have to use a heavier bullet and bump the powder up to knock down the 200m rams though.
