Any problems with using cast bullets in 1911?
Is it big difference in accuracy and maintenance between FMJ or CAst?
Cast bullets are a lot cheaper

Cast bullets are about all I shoot I would say about 90% of the time.
The 200 gr LSWC, particularily the H&G 68 design, and clones, works exreamly well .

Heavy cast bullets in .30-30
What's about the heaviest cast lead bullet that can be safely used in a .30-30 (Marlin 336)? Think a 250-260gr might work - that is, feed and chamber - reliably?

Additionally, I've found....
The longer cast bullets will contact the lead in the barrel (rifling/throat.
Most cast bullets suitable for the .30/30 are 200gr or lighter.
From a l/a will be more action length and case capacity .

I've been reloading moly-coated bullets (.45 time! Yes, lubricant....
I'm wondering...Do they have a "lube ring" at all around the bullet? I'm no expert but I've cast my, in which case bullet lube is not necessary or even desirable.

I'd like to get some opinions on the quality of various cast lead bullet makers. So far, all I've tried are Oregon Trail 200 gr semi wadcutter, and the same from Dardas bullets. Both seem to be pretty good, with a slight nod to Dardas for appearance (...

I made a customer a .480 405 grain 3 cavity mold in a 4 cavity block. I did some testing with it and found I had to wait 15-20 seconds between casts to keep the mold cool enough so it didn't cast frosty bullets. Had the wheel weight lead at around 775...

And with those big bullets sometimes with certain alloys you will actually get voids where the bullet using a fan? I cast a lot of bullets in binary alloys of 1/20 thru 1/40, I find high temps a must.

Very cheap and easy to use, use it on several bullets myself.
