Is there such a thing? I've heard mixed reviews on the Lee bullet loader saying it would work for cast, but it looks a little flimsy, and I see where the RCBS and Hornady bullet loaders specifically exclude cast bullets. Am I out of luck? Or is there a bullet feeder that works with cast?
The range was a success! 200 'test' loads, 200 succesful discharges. Pretty good average.

Should I be seating the bullet all the way into the case so that the groove is even with the lip of the case? I feel like that is what the groove/lip in the bullet is for is for
