				Who casts their handgun bullets?
			 
			
			
			I stopped by the local gunshop today and noticed the price of jacketed handgun bullets.  I have a few boxes of jacketed projectiles in the reloading room, but 99% of my handgun projectiles are cast right on my front porch. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I get wheelweights free at the local tire shop in town. I add some tin and cast, quench, size and load handgun bullets by the bucket full. I keep the cost down by casting plain base bullets. Cast bullets are fine for target and hunting and are as suitable as the more expensive jacketed bullets. My favorites are: .45 caliber 200 grain SWCs .44 caliber 240 grain SWCs .357 caliber 148 grain WC, 158 grain SWCs and 168 grain SWCs. Who else casts their own handgun bullets? Adam
