Doesn't seem to have ever been an issue.



Quite a difference in pressures involved...


I think you need to weigh in on the Glock barrel mention for the same reason.

Always wanted to try it. 5R and standard works so good though, why break it if its working....


There are a few who persue such endeavors. Some for the challenge and for frugality. I haven't taken the 22 cast plunge yet, but might one of these days.

Whats the downfall of an open gas port in the barrel vs lead bullets? No issues?

I think cast .224 bullets are cool looking. But I doin't think I'd want to cast thousands of them. But maybe a gang mold would be ok.

Did you also read where they said not to shoot reloads?

Still didn't answer how you "know" that.
