In the world of REO, that we merely live in, I once knew there was more! What else are we into?

If you have access to lead you can get started with just a small Lee pot, a mold and a sizer die for your single stage press.
It just takes a little practice, I actually enjoy casting as much as loading.
If you ever decide your interested in getting started I'll point you in the right direction and help you any way I can.

in case you can't read the language of drunk;
just punching paper, I got there for $21 per 100. precast is a little cheaper. i would have to worry aobout lead / tin ratio, making the projectile the proper weight, and will they be welcomed into the Kimber world? uggg, just a new step. I'm good for now, but I will give you shout if anything comes up.

I'm gonna lose some more man points saying this but.. Don't ask me, brother. I have never so much as even held a gun. I don't know anything about guns, ammo, hunting, shooting, etc. Trust me -- that's not a bad thing in MY case. Truth be told, I have a LOT of respect for the folks that do. Funny coming from a guy in Amish country, eh?

Dang pwrstrk XTP's !
Loading is suppose to save $ ;)
When I got the Hornady press with case feeder they were giving 1000 XTP with it.
They were all traded for primers, my alloy mix in a hollow point actually works as well or better then the high $ bullets.
I trade bullets for primers and powder so I almost shoot free.
Most of my shooting friends recycle the lead so I get most of it back :)



Here's one of my custom HP molds, the pins can be changed from round point to 5 sided or flat nose.


Lube / sizing 357 ".358" HP's




wet pack test 357, 20 to 1 lead / tin alloy


.452 200 gn HP 20 to 1 lead / tin ,,



5 sided HP 45's


Wet pack test,,, picture perfect and 100% weight retention!
Jack would be proud but then you prolly already know this!:)

Jack and I shared a lot of this back and forth, yes he would be all over this thread.
Of course it would be about me being a flatlander and how he taught me to do this and that, oh and make fun of my brass being shiny.
:)

Pietro that scooter is just awesome ! :ohmy:
I bet those pipes sound freakin wicked?

You'll scare Pat!
