    Cast reload question

    Am new to cast reloading. Loaded up a dummy round this morning to try in my 30-30. It cycles ok but the rifling leaves a slight (5mm long) mark on the proj. Its sized seated to the crimping groove, Not hard to chamber or eject. Was planning to use 20-22 grain of IMR3031.

    Is this normal with cast?

    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.
