    5.7 Casting?

    So through the wonders of modern technology and a bit of ingenuity I have acquired a P90 (semiauto). As with every other caliber I own, I would like the ability to load and cast for it. Anybody tried casting for it or can suggest a mold for it? As best as I can tell it should use the same bullet weights as 22 hornet or 22TCM

    I looked into this in the past and even reloading 5.7 in general...The conclusion for me was it wasn't worth the troubles.

    The NOE version of the Lyman 225107 (37 gr FN) shoots well in my 22 Hornet and 221 Fireballs. I have both FN and HP. Only issues slow putting GC on and sizing in my Star sizer, they are so tiny. I have large hands with short thick fingers.
