[QUOTE="archer, post: 2408147, member: 27557"] Have you considered casting your own bullets? I know that finding lead and wheelweights has been a little difficult latley but if you scrounge around a little you can get enough to get by. The Lee molds are fine if you follow the care and lubrication instructions on their website. They also have a sizing die that fits on your standard press. You can use the liquid lube but I advise against the lee liquid alox...unless you cut it with carnuba wax the bullets stay tacky even after they are dry and it tends to smoke more than normal lube. The best liquid lube come from a guy in Arkansas selling it under the White Label Lube name. You are looking at a double cavity mold....generally around 20 bucks...the sizer die....less than 20 bucks. And you can melt your alloy on a coleman gas camp stove if you want to stay on the cheap. There are some economical electric melters out there as well. [/QUOTE]
