I recently ordered my .50 DE and am looking to start reloading right away. I have already picked up a few hundred brass but I can't seem to find a place to get the projectiles. I would be willing to purchase them online if you guys know of a trustworthy site that ships to Ontario but I truthfully prefer to see people in person. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

350's are too long - they are for S&W 500. You lose case capacity and may get into the thicker part of the brass and have a slight bulge. That's why Hodgdon doesn't list load data from 350gr. 300's and 325's are correct for .50AE
In a gas-operated gun, cast will lead-plate the gas piston / cylinder and lock things up - also lead-plate and reduce the capacity of the gas port. Jacketed only.
Nope your wrong.
I have an M1 Carbine that's been converted to 45 Win Mag and all I use in it are cast boolit's made from wheel weight's and tumbled in Lee tumble lube.
Nope, I'm right. I have personally locked up a Desert Eagle and an HK P7M13, because I just had to find out for myself (in the face of sound advice to not use lead).
If some other guns - you mentioned a converted M1 - are more forgiving, then that is a matter of luck. As a good general rule, lead and gas operation do not mix.
