OK, I am pretty fed up with waiting on plated or jacketed bullets. In fact, I am so unhappy about the whole situation that I may just buy some casting equipment and massive amounts of lead.
With that said, why exactly do you guys cast your own bullets? It's fairly cheap, does take time, I suppose it would be the only thing we truly make. For example in reloading, all we really do is match up components and pull some handles up and down, and blam, a loaded round.
What is the true draw of casting your own? My only fear is leading, but then, I guess that can be a little over dramatic. Its just lead, and can be cleaned up with some elbow grease.
Anyway, take care,
