[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 1639219, member: 807"] I cast a large variety of bullets, both pistol and rifle, and even have a mold for casting buckshot. I install gas checks on many of the rifle bullets and some of the pistol bullets that I cast and others I shoot plain base. I make some jacketed bullets by swaging and a few pistol bullets by swaging, but it is much easier to cast and size/lube the bullets than it is to swage them. I make most of the target 22 cal jacketed bullets I shoot by making the jackets from 22 rimfire cases. Much easier to buy factory bullets, but mine are more accurate. I make copper tubing jackets for both pistol and rifle bullets, but again, much easier to buy them. Most of the copper tubing stuff I make is for the tougher jackets. They hold together better than the thin commercial jackets. Again, its a matter of what I'm using them for. Blitzfike [/QUOTE]
