    I cast for all my handguns but want to start casting for my 1/8' twist AR and 1/9" twist Mini 14.
    What weight would anyone recommend?
    I may also try to shoot it in my 22-250.
    Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the restraints!

    I beliuve that leading the barrle -maybe port... can be part of the learning curve. Mostly on the hot side,
    And elbow grease and bore brush are the way not to take them to a gunsmiths.
    I hate it when I goof up !!

    There is a load of folk with good luck post here -- I like 70 gr -- Gascheck

    60 gr fully dressed. Will work in 8 and 9" twist if velocity is kept down to a reasonable level; best accuracy generally comes where functioning is reliable with medium burning powders. Will also work in 22-250 where the twist is likely 14".
