HAS ANYONE GOT OR HEARD OF MOULDS TO CAST .17 CAL. PELLETS WITH? I'M WONDERING IF CASTING PELLETS WOULD EVEN BE POSIBLE. A POUND OF LEAD WOULD MAKE A SHIT LOAD OF BEEMAN AMMO.

SHHHHHH BE VEWY VEWY QUIET I'M HUNTING WABBITS.........................

I've heard it is extremely difficult to consistantly cast bullets that small, as you just don't add enough heat into the mold each time you cast to keep the mold hot enough.

All the commercial bullets are swadged, you might want to look into a set up to use your reloading press to swadge pellets.

I have a .17 caliber pellet mould from LEM. Really don't know much about LEM. The mould itself is brass and pretty small. I've not attempted to use it as pellets are not that expensive. Pretty little thing though.

I've got moulds for both .177 and .22 made by LEM. The .22 one is easy to use but the .177 one is a real sod!; either the lead wont go in or if the mould does fill I cannot get the bullet out.

LEM was a one man operation in Liverpool, England and disappeared a long while ago. LEM made a great deal of moulds, mainly for black powder shooters.

But, why?
