This is the only way I can afford to shoot as much as I like....





Besides, casting my own bullets is seriously enjoyable.

This is an hours work with two new gang molds I am trying out. LEE six holers, one in .45acp, and another for 9mm.
I haven't measured them yet, but there is a chance the 9mm bullets are wide enough to shoot in my .38 as well.

Now all I have to do is find my blasted lubrisizer dies.....

Fantastic. I am trying to learn how to cast my own bullets and how to hand load. I have a feeling with the rising cost of ammo, and the fact that I am a college student will seriously damper my shooting as I start out in the shooting world.

Any idea how I could learn to do this, or at least how I can learn to hand load?

Again, I really enjoy your blog here. It is entertaining.

Well, it wouldn't hurt to start out with a few good manuals.

To begin casting, Lyman has a heck of a book which will get you started.
For reloading, LEE has a manual that's untouched. I would suggest getting both and reading them cover to cover before doing anything else.

Also try reading Carteach0 from my blog roll.
