Casting Handgun Bullets.

Last Saturday was a perfect Indian Summer day here on the farm. I got out the old Coleman stove and put it on the picnic table in the front yard. I got out a half dozen favorite moulds and started casting about 9:00 A.M. By sundown, I had gone through 6 pots of #2 alloy and had a pile of .38/.357 and .45 caliber projectiles on establishment.

I quench all my cast bullets by dropping them from the moulds into a bucket of water a distance from the pot. My bullets are hard and are accurate. I have enough to supply my shooting needs over this Winter. Who else casts their own pistol bullets?
