Just me, but i have been casting my own on & off for 40y. I actually enjoy it over reloading. Turning scrap into shiny bullets has a certain HS chem class about it. Now with coatings, even better, like shooting plated bullets for a penny.
Like reloading, better gear makes all the diff. I use bottom pour pots & mostly 4-6cav molds. I run a magma caster too, either way, a good way to spend an hour or two for 1000 bullets.
