Casting is a whole 'nuther ball of wax that takes a new set of tools, a proper place to do the work and a skill set that is developed with experience. While you can save a HEAP of money by casting your own projectiles, I don't think it's typical to use it as an example of saving money to a new reloader, because a new reloader has a helluva to learn just building ammo.

I'd reckon that there aren't a lot of new reloaders who start casting their own at the same time they begin reloading. I think it's a logical next step for a lot of reloaders, though.

Tell me what caliber you need and I'll see what I have to swap. PM me and we'll discuss.
