Just picked up a 94 in 356 Winchester and was wondering if anyone has experience loading cast bullet in it. I'm considering Oregon's 180 gr. Research seems to lean towards RE-7. ANy help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have a bit but am at my in-laws flying out to Knob Creek KY for the machine gun shoot via Santa Rosa, CA and won't be back to MT for about 9 days. I shoot a 215 gr LY keith bullet 358627 with 2400 and a Saeco 352 245 gr bullet. In my gun the 180 gr bullets will not catch on the device that guides them into the chamber and when picked up out of the magazine they go past the chamber. Carrier? might be the right word. I have gotten good groups with surplus 7383, Ok to good with RL7 and great with j-words and AA 2015. Will pm or post in a week or so. Gianni.
