30 cal bullets

AGE · 07-19-2002, 11:26 AM

I did a little bullet casting in .38 and .45 using Lee aluminum molds. They worked OK, I still have them. Never tried 9mm or .30. If you sit the mold on top of the furnace for awhile to heat up before casting they work better.

Casting bullets is a lot of work and makes the little woman upset--can be smelly. Also the lead is toxic. I can buy good cast .45s for $33/1000 and .38s for $25. I won't cast anymore as long as I can buy for these prices.
