Bought a pair of steyrs that come with the dies and mold (8x56). I have a lee melting pot that I use with round ball but have never cast boolits. Been doing some reading so I now understand the lube and gas check issues. I was surprised by the low charges used. When using charges under 15 gr, is a fast powder required? I use mostly varget but never see that mentioned.
Other than casting the boolit, is the rest of the reloadimg process the same?
