in the past I know guys have struggled with cast bullets on the AR platform, but looks like your not having a problem for sure!!!!

Did you have problems with the 350's? I have a 350G WFN GC mold is why I ask...

I loaded up a dummy so far.

Something isn't right, it almost looks like the sizing die is trying to horribly overshoot the sizing, but didn't go all the way down the brass. I had a similar ring on a tight die, set up how the instructions said, except the ring I was getting was in the case head area. That was before I started sizing for my chambers. But yours looks way off.

To me, it looks like a wrong die dimension or possibly trying to resize without any Imperial Wax on the case. Never seen that in over 2K reloads in this caliber. I'd sure be on the phone to Hornady.

Sorry I’ve been gone for awhile.

I was checking on things and I had a touch of frost leading at the beginning of my throat and first inch after. Not bad and I will say didn’t affect my groups. I’ll clean it out w some chore boy tonight. I’ve seen worse leading in my rifles.

I was looking at my bullets I coated and the coating is super thin in places so I’m going to do a additional coat. That harbor frieght red I used was also 4 years old and returned back to container after I get done tumble coating lol so that’s some hard core use. They did pass the hammer test and I had no systematic leading. I do love this bullet and recommend it w gator checks!

As for the 350s a bud of mine gave me data from quick loads but I’m not going to do 350s as I now have a 50 beo

I cast about 400 300g WFN GC bullets yesterday... while looking for the sizer I found the 270 WFN I had lost!!

SO tonight I am firing up the pot again!

Here is some pics from yesterday.
