Indian Summer day and handgun bullet casting.

I use cast bullets exclusively in my .38, .357, .41, .44, and .45 handguns. Yesterday was a nice sunny 60 degree day just made for casting my Winter handgun projectile supply. I live on a farm and have a 3-bay tractor shed just made for bullet casting regardless of weather. Bay #3 has a hay wagon backed in and it is the best work bench/casting bench I ever had. I use a Coleman stove and run 4 or 5 moulds in a casting session. I get wheelweights free from the local tire shop and drop all bullets from the moulds into a bucket of water. Yesterday, I made a 10 quart bucket of cast projectiles. Now I need to sort them and then size and lube them all for Winter target shooting and plinking hereabouts.

Who else casts their own handgun bullets?
