  • Bullet casting

    I am looking into bullet casting for pistol ammo. I have done some reading. I was wondering what is your opinion on it. This will be only for range ammo.

    It is lots of fun. Make sure to do it outside of your house. Don't let your kids near you supplies either.

          There's good and bad. It makes your unit cost as low as humanly possible. When it comes to pistol ammo 80% of your cost is the projectiles, big savings. The disadvantages (to me) is it can get dirty, and also I've started to get a little less friendly with lead. I deal with it so often that I have to be careful, and when I shoot cast bullets you get a huge cloud of lead and it concerns me the health risks involved. I could be talking out of my ass, but I do a lot of shooting and that does concern me. Not to mention the casting process etc.

          At the moment I only cast 00 buckshot, because that shit is stupid expensive.

            CJ; eat fresh indigo if you are afraid that you have been over exposed to lead. Lead also doesn't do much to adults until the level gets extremely high.

                You will die from many other issues caused by lead before cancer caused by lead will get ya.

                Indigo leaches lead out of your body; even from your bones.
