Do you shoot cast lead handloads in autoloaders?

 

[Walkalong]

Yes, thousands of them over the years. Both bought & home cast.

I think you worded #3 wrong. Shouldn't the word "only" be "not? (doesn't change my answer but might for others)

Yeah, I realized that after posting.

 

[Uniquedot]

Yes i do.

 

[cfullgraf]

Both purchased and home cast bullets. Even some swaged bullets along the way.

I don't have any polygon rifling so not a problem for me.

 

[ljnowell]

I shoot cast lead in all of my autoloaders, including my glock.

 

[THe Dove]

Yes.

I love casting boolits as much as reloading, and I love reloading as much as I do shootin', and I love shootin' as much as I - - - well, y'all get the idea........

[jcwit]

Yup! Usually my own cast.

 

[USSR]

Yep, cast my own.

The Poll is missing an Answer:

Yes, but only in guns I wish to

I have 2 45s I do not run Cast Lead in, and it has nothing to do with #3.

[RustyFN]

Yes with my own cast bullets.

 

[floydster]

It's all I shoot, my own cast bullets---why not--.

 

[mbopp]

My 1911 has never seen a jacketed bullet since I've had it. A Glock may be next on the "buy" list and it'll get cast bullets also.

 

[Dirtdgger]

Cast my own and shoot what I cast in everything.

 

[Big20]

I shoot bunches except....they lead my Taurus 709 while my Kahr shows no leading. The Taurus now gets mostly plated bullets.

 

[res45]

I cast my own bullets and shoot them in all my auto loaders,my SKS rifles eats cast lead like candy.

 

[Marlin 45 carbine]

yes, .32acp, .380acp, 9mm Mak, 9mmPara, .45acp

 

[LiveLife]

Yes, I do shoot lead bullets in all of my autoloaders, including factory Glock barrels (but will inspect the barrel about 200-300 rounds and clean as necessary).

 

[FROGO207]

Oh yea! In rifles, pistols. revolvers, and shotties. Our range has a requirement that all ammo be lead only and 1000 FPS or less for use on the indoor range. So I reload AND cast. Life is good. Ammo is not a problem to acquire.

 

[LeonCarr]

Yep, even in Glocks.

 

[oldreloader]

Cast is all I shoot in both my 9MM and 45ACP

 

[Hondo 60]

I have 3 semi-autos 22, 9 & 45.
I've shot lead from 2 of the 3.
Haven't had the 1911 for long, so, so far it's only had plated.

 

[evan price]

Yes, including Glocks.

Would not in a Desert Eagle however due to fouling the gas system.

Hundreds through the G21SF, no issues. I've since sold it and picked up a 97b, so we'll see how it does with cast.
