I am new to reloading and I am looking into casting my own 9 mm bullets (115 or 124 Gr). Rather than go the route of melting down wheel weights I have found a source of "hard" ingots that are from wheel weights. These will cost me $1.10/lb. in 50 pound lots. (They also have "soft" ingots). And the source is local so no shipping $. This seems to me a good way to start as I could skip process of melting into ingots and the cost of the related equipment. I would appreciate any comments and advice you could offer.
