[QUOTE="DrivesGuy, post: 2368501, member: 24974"] Thanks Jake. We'll see how it goes. I need to master casting the bullets 1st. I figured I would use Linotype, since it is a bit harder than pure lead. I might even invest in a small machinist lathe to line bore a hollow point after casting. I should probably look into some ballistic gelatin too to see how well a hollow point bullet that has been cast will work. I can get copper ground rod from Rexel here locally and try machining some copper bullets as well to see how they fair. I was thinking about swaging, but the cost from Corbin was a bit high and I did not see any dies for the 7.62 x 39 Russian either (AK owner here :) ). [/QUOTE]
