Sorry, been away, was gifted a large supply of plated bullets and such to use, and the pot has stayed cold for many months..

BUT, I have a new caliber and rifle to load for...not one I think many people would cast for.

That's practically one of a kind rifle right now, an SA vz-58 5.56mm with AR magwell adapter, my wife's rifle. Well, she wanted one, but I get to shoot it. ;)

OK, load for a gas gun in 5.56mm, primers are Remington 7.5s, powder is H-335 or H-4895, (not much of that), brass is 90% LakeCity. What mould/bullets/;oads would the great gurus recommend to start with?

Save your pennies and go down to the Swaging section.

I cast for 5.56 in an AR. Our AR is mid length gas and I load a 60gr NOE boolit on top of 16gr of H4895, very nice shooting and functions perfectly.

i looked at the swaging stuff, FAR too expensive for me to get into right now.

Looks like I might be able to try some, thanks to a generous person here.
