Just my 2 cents worth, I think the FCDs are good to have on hand. Like so many tools in my tool boxes that I rarely use. But they both come in handy from time to time.
Dack has a Hornady sale going on today.

I have had a LC9 for about 10 years. It's a pocket or IWB carry. It has been reliable. Yes, it has a long trigger pull. I don't find that it is a heavy pull. And it has a definite trigger break, with little overtravel.
Not so much as the cost of jacketed. But more of the challenge. My plan is to not start off with cast until I get a grip on loading jacketed. I load a lot for .223, but cases are plentiful for that. I want my .308 cases to last longer. :)
Good point of cleaning the bore before swapping types. I powder coat my cast. So if I do my part correctly, I should have minimal to no fouling.
The Riflespeed AGB looks supreme. I like the extended dial. Got it in my favorites for later. Thanks! :thumbup:
I will have to study up on which gas block to use. Hopefully I can gain some insight here on that. :)
I have a nice mold for 155 gr. bullets. Got it originally for 300 BLK. There is some load data on cast bullets for the .308W using H335 that I hope I can build on.
I'm about to order a 20" .308W barrel with a rifle length gas system. If suitable, I'd like to be able to switch from jacketed to cast with gas-checked. The build is in DPMS style.
What do I look for on a barrel as pertaining to the gas port size? I have read where some have enlarged the hole...
Most of the 300 BLK brass I have is repurposed 5.56 brass. As long as the brass neck wall thickness is .012" or less, they will fit the Lyman case gauge. I use the Lee's sizing die.
For a quick reference. :)
I had a 5+ gal bucket (one of those buckets that pool chlorine tablets come in) of clips and metal weights full to the brim. It's weight at the scrap yard was a bit over 100 lbs. IIRC. I lifted it up into the van. I surely wouldn't try to lift a bucket full of lead. :)
I like the sound of your set up. Right now I have one 20# pot. I plan on expanding the rifle mold collection, so it makes sense to have a separate pot for them.
I keep enough cast bullets on hand. When they're low, I cast some more. I'm not a high volume shooter. And I still shoot some...
CFE-P has found a home here in 9mm and 40 S&W. I tried it in 45 Auto and 380, not much to write home about. I find that CFE-P likes higher pressure max loads. It's repeatedly in the single to low teen digits of SD at max. It's not the highest in velocities, but it gets up there.
