I have heard that you cannot use cast bullets in an AR-15 is this true? what if you electroplate the bullets? is there an easy solution?
I reload my .223, but would like to cut my $/round if I could without ruining my barrel
Thanks!

Shoot straight, keepem in the ten ring.
they say that because of the gas port. after you run a few hundred FMJs thur and remove any burr that may have occurred when boring the port you can shoot cast thru.

All a bunch of Hog-Wash. From some great info, that no one tried. Bottom line cast n shoot. Lot of good threads here on the subject.
Start CASTING or get off the POT!
Wouldn't own one if it couldn't shoot CAST BOOLITS,and I've acumulated 5 somehow.Also,in my Garands and M14s,who da thunk it.
Will admit that 22cal.gas checks are a challenge some times for old beat up hands.
