I've been planning this for a while, & just now got everything set up to be able to accomplish it.
I've started casting some of my own bullets. I bought a mold for my 44 (429 dia 230 gr) at the gun show & got a 9mm (356 dia 124 gr) mold from Midway.
I cast out 100 9mm & 50 .44 bullets last week & powder coated them last Saturday. Loaded some 9mm the other day & did some test shooting with a couple different guns.
I gotta say I'm quite pleased with the results, both guns functioned just fine, accuracy was quite good at 12 yds on the steel plate, & looking thru the barrel before & after didn't show much difference in dirt or leading or powder carboning.
I'm having fun with this, I think it's just very neat to do.
Next thing I wanna do is take a batch of my cast reloads to shoot at the IDPA match I go too which will be next month.
