    .40 Cal Hard cast reloads

    During the dark days earlier in the year I had bought some hard cast reloads and have about 200 left, the problem is they smoke like hell when I shoot them. Question, can I pull the lead and powder then repowder and add a new plated bullet??
    I am planning on getting a reloading press in the next 30 days and thought this might be a good start...

      Shooting them is easier than pulling, resizing, etc, etc.

                  It's the powder interacting with the lead and the lube. Not worth the effort. Just shoot them.

                              Conventional Lead Lubes... SMOKE. Quite a bit. That is the lead game.
