John,
Thanks for the advice. I can get dirt cheap military ammo for my other rifles so I don't think i will be casting for them in the immediate future.
I have a buddy who makes fairly regular trips to the States so bring back small stuff should not be a problem. I guess I needto read up on how to slug a barrel properly ready to order the mould.
What calibres to you cast for?
Regards,
Pete
i only cast 9mm and 357 caliber bullets.....another good place to get lead is from cleaning out an indoor range.... my friend and i cleaned out one a few yrs back and got a life time of lead that is almost the perfect hardness because it once was bullets.......the local print shop also gave me a big bar of pure linotype that will make hard bullets for magnum loads.......
