Casting bullets is not hard, there is no way I could aford to shoot as much as I do if I didnt cast bullets.

With care cast bullets are every bit as accurate then factory bullets, in some cases more accurate.

I dont just cast pistol bullets, but rifle as well. Thats where you really cut down ammo prices

An example, I have a mold, that uses 3/8s copper tubing for jackets, using cast bullets in my 375 H&H. I can shoot them as fast and as accurate as factory bullets.

I use to cast bullets in my M1A and M1 for gallery practice, shooting at NRA Small Bore targets to keep me in shape for High Power in the winter off season.

Lvman makes an excellent Cast Bullet Guide and ReLoading Manuel, That will get you well on the way.
