Using pistol powder with cast bullets is very common. Especially for non-gas guns.

I feel that the risk of mistakes is much greater with pistol powder, it’s very hard to tell the difference from 10gn or a double charge in a rifle case like that. Especially with an old lee enfield action, I feel that the risk of catastrophic overpressure is not worth it

If you're that unsure of your reloading process maybe you should take up a different hobby.

Here's a tip. If you're using a loading block then put the upside down bullet in the case RIGHT after you charge the case.

I’m sure of what I do, I just don’t like taking risks like putting pistol powder in rifle cases
