That isn't an easy question to answer.
If it was a good barrel with a smooth throats I would go right to cast.
I would try cast in a new barrel/gun and seee what they do. If I saw issues I would try jacketed to see we if the gun was the problem.
Jacketed can also be used to smooth a rough throat and clean up a slightly rough bore. It won't solve everything but enough jacketed will remove some rough spots.
Look at how well many well used milsurps do with cast.
In short, it depends.

If the gun won't chamber cast..... maybe starting there won't work.

I need to go read that again and see if it needs updating.
Usually about halfway up the neck works, depending on how much of a neck impression you need and how long of a lead slug you have to work with. If you need the whole neck impression, I advise heating the case up very hot to completely anneal at least the top half dead-soft, and only fill it to the base of the neck.
