So I am studying, melting and reloading probably faster than I should. A question about flaring for cast boolits has intruded on my consciousness. Whilst preparing my first S&W 460 loads with Cast Boolits, I did notice that these boolits got shaved worse during seating, unlike the jacketed bullets I normally load. I do pay attention and I caught this on the first load and increased the flare on all the cases. While reading "From Ingot to Target: A Cast Bullet Guide for Handgunners" I noticed that it specifically stated that I should not be able to feel the Lube Grooves while moving the boolit in and out of the case by hand. I just wanted to check in on this one and get some input from the community. I normally use a minimal flare to seat Plated Boat Tail Rifle bullets and flaring to get a bullet nearly loose in the case seems a bit excessive.
