Just to clear the air and keep from hi-jacking another thread, and a very PRETTY, oh sorry, I meant a VERY GOOD one, I thought I would post up a couple of links about the manufacture and sale of components and or cast bullets.

Personally I like to cast a WHOLE LOT, almost as much as some of these folks who are candy coating theirs. But to set up for production sales is a whole nuther matter I don't even want to get into.
It might start off with one or two or even a half dozen calibers, and only selling some here and there for friends or possibly to a gun club, but then things have a tendency to take off on their own. Word of mouth gets around fast especially when you have something good, at a good price, that others want.
Now depending on your free time, and how much area you have to work, and what sort of capital you have to work with yes it can be done. But for the average Joe who works 40 60 hrs a week, it sure makes it rough especially if you have kids.
