Gotta agree with you on the use of lead alloy ,tkglazie, for the most part, I use it almost exclusively; 9mm being the one exception. In that caliber, I've never found a cast lead bullet that would perform well in the 9mms we've owned: Beretta 92, two Colt 1911's, a Sig 290, and a Glock 19...never tried them in the Glock due to the factory warning.

For the rest of our short guns, I've cast for almost 50 years now, and have bought a variety of commercial offerings too....currently, I"m using Missouri Bullets in .41, .44 Spl and Mag, and .45 Colt and ACP....very good quality control from that outfit...not the cheapest, but with selected loads in all five of those calibers, I can expect sub-2" gps at 25 yds, some considerably less.

Good discussion here...Best Regards, Rod
