Is anyone using the Hornady bullet feed die with cast .401 40s&w? If so did you have to make any adjustments to the feeder die? The guy at hornady explained to me that the feed die does not work well with cast. Thanks

it does not like the lube groves and hangs up on them. I cast the smooth boolits made for powder coating and it works fine.
I haven't done it but I have seen where some have opened up the diameter of the bottom collet to use with cast bullets. At the time there was a YouTube video or two about it?
