Not sure if this is the best spot, or the reloading forum, but here goes.
I am getting an M1 carbine and have a question about feeding it. I have read warnings about using lead bullets in gas operated semi-autos before, but it looks like a lot of folks use cast bullets for their M1 carbines.
Is there something about the design that allows this, or do you just have to be careful about cleaning more often? Should I just stick with jacketed/plated bullets?
I figure I'll pick up a bulk order of brass .30 carbine ammo and keep the bras for reloading. It would be nice to be able to use cast bullets, but only if they will work well with the gun.
Thanks
