[QUOTE="thatguyshm, post: 962185, member: 69989"] Could you elaborate? My father shoots only cast through his 300B and loves it. He has not had many problems but I do not know the current round count down the tube. This is his first AR platform rifle. He shoots both 150 and 220's out of his rifle, all gas checked. The 150 is actually the most accurate round in my brothers 300B and he loads anything from 110 TNT's up to 230 Sierra's, as well as the two lead loads my father shoots. Another thing to think about, which once again, my father has gotten into, is powder coating his bullets. I believe he spends most of his time on cast boolits, and it is a fairly common practice there. May be a good place to look for lead info. I do not know the hardness he is casting his 150's at, but we shoot all the way up to 500 SW cast with gas check in a single shot rifle, and we don't load them down. He is working on a 1800fps 338 Win Mag plinking load as well. My brother shoots .45 ACP lead through his Vector Kriss Pistol as well and doesn't have any problems. I am just wondering what issues people are seeing with their own lead loads, not just from what they hear from people who may not be water quelching and baking their lead loads. In my opinion, its the same as load development for long range shots. You can't just blindly follow what everyone else says, but try for yourself. I say get a bit more information on cast shooting and try it out for yourself. Check out the specialty cast loading websites and see what they recommend. I am not trying to be a tool or anything, I am just curious as to how much real world feedback from use says that you can't cast in a gas gun.. SHM [/QUOTE]
