I have a local commercial caster that I buy my boolits from around three cents a piece. That being said its going to be hard for me to make them cheaper than I can just buy them from him. BUT I have that urge to expand my reloading hobbie and I keep coming back to this site and looking around. I used to make my on fishing jig heads so I have some of the tools required. I was looking at the Roto metal site at the different casting lead One question I mostly shoot 45acp which lead ingots are the best to buy that all I have to do is start casting? Got plenty more questions but my three year old girl want to go outside and play. Be back soon and thanks in advance!
