Louis,
There are advantages and disadvantages to casting and swaging. You can not beat the economy of cast bullets, especially pistol bullets. But the big disadvantage in cast rifle bullets is having to keep your bullets at low velocity. Low velocity, though, does not mean they are not accurate nor deadly on small game. It is true that swaged lead bullets are more accurate than cast bullets, but only a careful target shooter would notice the difference. ( Swaged bullets in a lead only shoot would probably win the match if all else were equal) Will you be shooting pistol or rifle .308s? I ask this as there are a lot of 30 caliber Mauser pistols in your part of the world.
I prefer swaged jacketed rifle bullets to hunt with as the jacket protects the nose, provides for controlled expansion, and are fun to make. For rifle target rounds, you can make make satisfactory swaged lead bullets in your jacketed bullet die set if you have a "lead tip" die to reform the nose. Usually only RN or 2-4S ogive bullet shapes can be handled this way.
