From: "Ed Crooks", [EMAIL PROTECTED] A number of shooters in England make their own bullets, by casting in bullet molds using a lead alloy. Alex Hamilton, who introduced me to this list is also with me on the Cast Bullet list at [EMAIL PROTECTED], along with a number of other British shooters. Since cast bulets seemingly cause no problem, how about swaging your own bullets, using jackets with lead core? Most any good machinist could make you the eqipment, but a very popular supplier of bullet making equipment of that type in the US is found on the net at www.corbin.com. Until manufacturers like Bergen came along, many bench rest shooters used equipment supplies like Corbin. Cast lead bullets can be replaced with swaged lead bullets, can be replaced with swaged jacketed bullets. If the law allows the first one, why not the last? They are all home made. At the price you English shooter have to pay for bullets, the equipment would quickly pay for itself, particularly if several went together, or if it were owned by a club. You can start with the simplest, manual lever operation, and get more and more sophisticated.
