Who casts their handgun bullets?

I stopped by the local gunshop today and noticed the price of jacketed handgun bullets. I have a few boxes of jacketed projectiles in the reloading room, but 99% of my handgun projectiles are cast right on my front porch.

I get wheelweights free at the local tire shop in town. I add some tin and cast, quench, size and load handgun bullets by the bucket full. I keep the cost down by casting plain base bullets. Cast bullets are fine for target and hunting and are as suitable as the more expensive jacketed bullets.

My favorites are:
.45 caliber 200 grain SWCs
.44 caliber 240 grain SWCs
.357 caliber 148 grain WC, 158 grain SWCs and 168 grain SWCs.

Who else casts their own handgun bullets?

Adam
