[QUOTE="Sharingan, post: 2159876, member: 11761"] I will be casting lead as well for my 8.2" barreled upper, and shooting the good stuff out of my 7.5" -- The combination of correctly hard cast lead, the size and weight of the .30 cal bullet, crimping a gas check to the lead, proper powder, and the velocity 'band' of the .300 blk makes cast bullets a pretty good choice from everything ive researched. Ive found people on boards who have been casting .30 caliber rounds for years all the way up to 2200-2600 fps. Talked to a gentleman who has been shooting cast bullets in ARs for over 3 decades.. he said as long as you clean the rifle after you shoot it anyway, hes never had a leading issue-- even in the gas tube. Talked to others who have said the same thing (not as long mind you) but basically it seems like anyone who had issue with leading didnt clean the rifle regularly. TIFWIW. Sorry OP didnt mean to hi-jack the thread. Ill stay on alert for these bullets as well. [/QUOTE]
