    Cast bullet feeder?

    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?

    Newb reloading issues.. fat cases, shorter cast loaded rounds

    The range was a success! 200 'test' loads, 200 succesful discharges. Pretty good average. I wasn't thrilled with loading the 9mm with Unique. It seems to be a bit lighter than bullseye, because when my press (LockNLoadAP) indexes a loaded cartridge to the tapercrimp die, the press "snaps"...

    Newb reloading issues.. fat cases, shorter cast loaded rounds

    So the bulge and the short OAL isn't neccesarrily a bad thing? 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 I loaded 13 in a mag and was able to chamber...

    Newb reloading issues.. fat cases, shorter cast loaded rounds

    Let me preface this by saying im a newb, obviously. I have set up my Hornady Lock n Load press as the directions indicated, I have read the Lyman's and Lee manuals, and I've done tons of research online. Obviously not enough. I am using Proofmark 125gr RN cast bullets and once fired brass...
