Can you fire form with cast bullets? Those are pretty cheap...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I have some odds and ends left over from many years of loading. Different brands and weights but you're welcome to them if you want

BSA I don't like to shoot lead cast in my guns. I've heard too many horror stories. powdr I hear you powdr. I have never shot cast bullets either. Just wondering because someone gave me a bunch of cast bullets for the .338. I have some loose partitions and other brands if you are still looking...

Just trying to help a member out. I fire formed over 800 - 22-250 AI brass for under $50.00 using the blue dot, cream of wheat method.

I fire formed thousands upon thousands of rounds using blue dot and cornmeal and wax. Load book loads uses a lot more powder than the 8 to 10 grains of blue dot you use and a lot harder on barrels fire forming with load book loads

Guys thank you for all of the help. I do not use any form of fast burning powders and fillers. I use a good book load of a fast burning rifle powder to form all of my loads. I have or have had 5 different Ackleys in the last 30 years. I do know a little about Ackleys. If you're going to use pistol powder...make sure you are careful and prudent.
P.S. Don, I am not going to accept any more free gifts from you until I can do something for you. powdr
