    yes
    you can shoot cast from an AR.
    but first you have to believe and then read and learn what works.
    Then
    go for it!

    you can give it a shot, but I am in the not worth it camp, cheap bulk bullets are back down to 10 cents. I do cast for 300 blk and found it very easy to cast and cycle my ar15, has 16inch barrel and pistol gas, uses less powder also.

    let use know if you figure it out

    Ive said it before. It ain't that hard. 1/7 twist, 70 grain boolits. 1/10 twist, 50-55 grain boolits. 15 to 22 grains of W748, start at the bottom for heavier boolits. Size as big as possible, I size to .227 with powder coat.
