Casting Rifle and Pistol Bullets.

[Rapier]

Adam,
Casting adds several layers to the pleasure of shooting whether you cast to shoot cans or win title or trophy in world cast bullet competition, yes there is such a thing.

Back years ago I shot in competition, long range silhouette, with jacketed bullets. When I started shooting perfect scores at every match, I decided things were getting boring in my hobby. So I switched to shooting cast only in competition. I had been casting bullets for over 20 years at the point where I started to cast for competition at long distance and became a "reborn caster" with a purpose and goal, the perfect cast bullet.

Casting adds to the sport of shooting from several directions, it allows for some savings, in money, but adds time, it allows more appreciation of accomplishment as you are rolling your own. But it does add frustration as it is impossible to tell if the weight of your bullet is because it is 100% filled out or is a heavy bullet with an internal air bubble. However, that is the idea in the first place.

After 25 plus years of casting for competition I can tell you that when you shoot a perfect score in competition with your bullets, you know every one was done correctly, cast, sized, GC'd, and lubed. Plus you meet some pretty interesting characters in the cast competition world of shooting.
