Hi Guys,

I'd like a few hints and tips from those of you who cast your own bullets if possible.

I am thinking of producing some low power ammo for cast bullets to put through my SMLE for those days on the range when we're limited to 25 yards or so. I'm an experienced reloader but have never cast my own before.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the best approach, research on this site reveals so much information that I find myself confused!

What is recommended as a starting point, best bullet weight for low power loads, manufacturer etc., whether to size or not, whether to gas check or not, best powder and a recommended powder charge for those that have worked for you.

I seem to have so many questions but hoping you all can give me a bit of a head start.

Please do teach me to suck eggs, I won't be offended, even if that advice is "bad idea, don't do it"!
