Roll Your Own

[wolfman]

I had been thinking about it for a long time, and after attending the reloading demo at IndyGunworks place, gave in and ordered myself a press

Something I hadn't been considering though, was making my own bullets, but after Leadeye's demo, I now have someone to blame, when the melting pot and molds get here.

If anyone else is interested, in making your own bullets, here is a link to a website that has good prices on the Lee lead melting pots, and molds. Factory Sales 2009

and a yahoo group I found that has "tons" of info in it if you join and look in the files section. CB-BOOK : CAST BULLETS FOR BEGINNER AND EXPERT

I'd cast my own if I could find a good source for inexpensive lead. That's the biggest impediment I've seen towards doing it.

No worries. Every minute you hang on this extremist web page, you become more of a lead magnet

My ex wife has plenty in her ass, good luck digging it out though!!!

Well, glad to see my class is helping out the economy.... sounds like i helped at least a little

 

[IndyGunworks]

what press did you buy? what dies.... tell us the set up you got coming.

 

[bigg cheese]

I think he may have decided that he can do it better than you, so he'll try to put you out of business ... j/k

I got a Lee turret and carbide die's. The press will let me get started for a reasonable price, and I can trade up later if I want. Will be loading mostly .40 & .45, along with just enough .480 to keep the SRH happy. Will let everyone know how I like the set up once I have it all up and running.

Let me know if you have any better luck with that press than IGW had with his Lee. Although I've been looking more at RCBS myself.

Do not use lead from batteries. It will release something similar to phosgene gas.

Just a heads-up.

Although lead does have a scrap value, you are more then welcome to stop buy and get the lead out tof the bullet traps in in the shop. I have no wish to cast my own bullets right now. I don't have the range set up but once it is I will have a steady supply of it. If you want to help me set up the range then I will have a steady supply sooner.:-)
