as i have been researching reloading, specifically in regards to cast boolits, i kinda see a point where the limits of a cast boolit is exceded.
in 45 acp. cast seems fine, low pressures, no gas check needed. basically no real safety problems or other issues.
in 9mm i still think cast is alright, pressures/velocities are on the rise, no gas check needed.... further comments welcome.
.223 velocity/pressures increasing, gas check a benefit, is there a point and time where buying a jacketed bullet makes sense over trying to cast? also is a gas check being needed directly proportional to the hardness of the cast boolit? comments welcome.
.308, 30-06, 7mm, 300rum, etc. comments on these are welcome, basically when does it get beyond the limits of cast on this stuff.
i am obviously new to this whole reloading thing, and just trying to sort out what is stupid (getting someone hurt) and what is practical as well, but also want to learn what i can about everything as too.
the i can do it myself factor is a big part of my motivation for casting.....i basically listed the calibers i intend to reload, not necessarly cast for.....
