I agree with the posted advantages and positive things about casting your own bullets and believe me, they outway the disadvantages if you do a lot of shooting (or want to). I can cast bullets that are far superior to bullets put out by commercial casters.
Many tire shops will give you used wheel weights or sell them for a reasonable price. Usually you will want to alloy a hardening metal such as linotype. I get my linotype off of eBay for about $1.00/lb including shipping.
I cast for several pistol, revolver, and rifle calibers with very good results.
An example is my .44 Magnum loads. I have never been able to buy a bullet (cast or jacketed) that is as accurate at long range as my 250 grain SWC with a gas check on it.
