I've been casting my own .457, .495, .530 Balls & .430/205, .458/405 for over 20 years & part of it is ofcorse the fact that you can get Bulk Lead from a many of sources for pennies compared to buying boxed Balls or bullets, the other is that it is a relaxing experience for me where when I turn my lil stove on & put my pot on I'm in another state of mind not only because you have to pay attention to what you are doing while casting but also because that is how all of our fore fathers done it 150 & so years ago & I like knowing that I'm also contiuning the cycle.
BTW.
Even when I purchase my lead it's maybe $.50 a pound & it takes a tad over 2 pounds to cast 100 .457's, Gander Mountain here has them for $10.00 a box, even at the normal going rate of $2.00 a pound for lead you're still saving big time.
