Ok, so ill start by saying...
1. Im a bulk reloader for the simple fact of recreational shooting once or twice a week.
2. I know absolutely nothing about casting bullets
3. Im a forklift mechanic who has access to alot of lead contained within junk batteries.
4. I know nothing about casting...hahaha
Ok so, ive been considering casting. Here are my questions.
1. Is it cheaper then buying bullets for reloading
2. Can you put the copper jacket on the lead cast bullet yourself
3. What equipment is needed
4. Is it dangerous....e.i. lead, vapor, toxins...etc.
5. What is the total estimated cost for someone to start out doing .308's
6. Is it a time.consuming project to cast
7. Is there anything else i need to know or consider as a beginner
8. Since i reload ALOT and shoot ALOT is it worth the time and money
9. Can i use lead taken out of junk automotive batteries
10. If you can jacket your own bullets, is copper or plating better/cheaper/easier
Thanx in.advance for your replies, advice, and knowledge.
