I enjoy casting little 22's and 6MM''s. Mainly because a 20 lb pot full produces a whole whoop of the little projectiles. Over the years, I learned to cast them fast and hot, and have had excellent results.
The PIA for me however is sorting and weighing the little critters, and having stubby fingers (also a pain being a potter).I check (when necessary), size, and lube before I weigh and segregate (is it still legal to use that word) to a tenth of a grain, and store in compartmented plastic craft boxes. I weigh and segregate other cals as well, but never have as much of a problem.
I once accidently dumped a box of probably 6-700 22's on the floor that had been weighed. After the air turned a normal color again, I proceeded to reweigh and box. Hope never to
do that again.
However, as I enjoy shooting cast in Hornets, 222's, and 223's I guess I will always find the weighing and sorting to be a PIA, and accept the reality of the chore!
