Bullet Freedom

[BUFF7MM]

The freedom of not being at the mercy of all the craziness when it comes to bullets.
I had a free afternoon so I figured I'd sit down and cast myself some bullets to replenish my stockpile a little.

From left to right: 255 grain .452's, 158 grain .358's, and 102 grain .356's

Now to get some more wheel weights ready for the pot.
Deep Creek Rock and j8064 have created a monster.

Oops ... my bad.

Gotta love the endless bullets, that you make yourself. Much better then being at the mercy of the retail shops to buy bullets

Its amazing how dingy dirty wheel weights turn into shiney, hole punching bullets.

 

[engineerbrian]

to bad you cant make them for 22LR

 

[Alea Jacta Est]

You're not using a PRESSURE COOKER to make those, are you?

Its cheaper to shoot 45ACP then 22LR, especially these days.

Even more now, when the hoarding douche waffles, turnaround and sell $18 bulk boxes for $75 But its America and free market ....

 

[gorgeman]

hard to get lead

I hear you. Sean and I have been collecting lead, you guys will have to give us a crash course on turning wheel weights into projectiles!

Oh yeah the free market....

No pressure cooker here for sure

 

[j8064]

Those are not bullets. They are BOOLITS! There is a difference...

Nice batch you created there Buff!

Brian I'm gonna try to not forget those 10mm cases for you.

Talk to loud or too much about this and 'they' will want to regulate wheel weights!!

I think they are already trying, tire shop owner I talked with yesterday said in some industry magazine he gets they were looking into making it illegal to sell lead wheel weights, making zinc weights the only thing they could use. We shall see.

Very cool. Looks like a lot of work, but probably very rewarding.

Not really alot of work, once everything gets up to temperature those little beauties come pretty quick. To me the lube and size stage is more of a PITA, but it all goes pretty quick.

 

[shaddydan]

Those are sweet! I need to find a good source for pure lead for minie balls. The wheel weights are too hard.

 

[Nanook]

I've often thought about scrapping my sloop and using the lead keel for boolit material. That at least ought to make dumping all my evil guns into the bay a lot easier...

 

[brackishfly]

Too purdy to shoot, nice. Now I must not post photo's in fear of shame. No one here seems to be eager to cast their arms into "Peace Bricks" as the Seattle Mayor desires? Lead is easier to get on target than throwing bricks.

 

[stu929]

You are killing me with this you know that right.....

 

[FMRAO3]

They almost look to pretty to shoot! ha ha nahhh Looks great.
