        <![CDATA[ With the availability of bullets for reloading becoming next to nil and the price of same out of sight, if you can find them at all, I am thinking of getting
into bullet casting. I don&#39;t think I want to go this route though, unless I can find sources of very cheep or free lead. I have tried a few tire shops, but
they are reusing their wheel weights, and also going to lead free weights. I&#39;m pretty sure I can pick up lead from my range when it is closed, but not
positive. Does anyone... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ My experience has been almost exactly as exsfdoc. I put casting off as long as possible but now I like it. I get wheelweights from the local recycler for about
50 cents a pound so that is about a penny a bullet but I also found it easy to harvest lead from the club&#39;s berm so that  is free. I&#39;m still learning
but essentially I got good bullets right off. I also prefer Lee molds. I have a Lyman, cost three or four times as much as Lee but Lee doesn&#39;t make a mold
for 6.5mm, but those... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I was leary of casting my own bullets, too.  But with supplies dwindling, I decided to give it a shot.  I started collecting wheel weights about a year ago. 
Over 300# and I have paid a total on $15.  And that was for my last 5 gallon bucket.  Keep at the different tire shops.
<br>
<br>
I found the Los Angeles Sihlouette? Club website to be very helpful.  Lots of good articles by their members.
<br>

All I use is Lee stuff.  I have been very pleased with my bullets.  Maybe if I had... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve been casting bullets for 25 years. Just this year I experimented with Lee tumble lube &amp; dies. Before, I used my RCBS lubrisizer. (RCBS has
wonderful customer support). I even tried loading without sizing. I had chambering problems so I now size w/ the Lee sizers. I am totally satisfied with the
results. I spend less time casting/sizing &amp; more time shooting. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have a good idea what I&#39;m getting into. My dad used to reload and cast bullets when I was a kid. I would watch as he did it and he explained the whole
process. I&#39;ve also done some reading on the subject. Midway has a good supply of equipment on hand. It is definitely easier to find equipment than bullets
or loaded ammo. for sizing and lubing I was thinking of using the alox and Lee&#39;s sizing dies. That way I can use the presses I have instead of having to
buy a sizing press. What... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Dang Colin! Glad I didnt read that when I started casting bullets in 1964, I would never had started, too discouraging! I&#39;m still using a coleman camping
stove on the front porch, same one I started with in &#39;64. Still works just fine. I too wear long sleeves and welders gloves, they also work fine.  I love
Lee moulds because of there low cost, I will buy Lyman/Ideal molds at the gunshows (used)  I have over 40 now, some that I started out with. A mallet with a
plastic head works good... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have several sources. Try auto dealerships or truck shops. Scrap yards sometimes have lead pipes ... pretty much pure lead but joints are wiped w/ 50-50. TIN
is what you&#39;re after. Used range lead is good, but usually low in tin content. Wheel weights are good as is for low/moderate velocity loads, but more tin
is required for higher velocities. Look to Lee products for low cost furnaces, molds &amp; sizers. Since the great shortage, I have tumble lubed thousands of
bullets w/ total... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I don&#39;t want to discourage you, but bullet casting is almost as complex a subject as the whole rest of reloading in its entirety. To know what you&#39;re
getting into, get one of the Lyman cast bullet guides, and read it thoroughly. I think there are cast bullet forums on the internet, but I don&#39;t know what
they are. Might pay to have a look at one of those.

Equipment: you need a mould (of course) and a melting furnace. There are other ways to melt lead, but they&#39;re not... ]]></description>
