I think we were thinking of two different ideas. I meant for the same components all brand new. You appear to mean reloading in general. The comment I made about casting my own bullets was somewhat of an afterthought. I have seen many types of commercially cast bullets available for relatively inexpensive as you mentioned. Especially compared to jacketed bullets. I already have 350gr XTPs, 500gr XTPs and 300gr FTXs ready to load up. I was looking at the 440 grain LFN cast as another possibility. Eventually I do want to get some molds and cast my own. When I was a kid we cast all our own muzzle loader projectiles as well as many pistol bullets that would be loaded slow enough to not need a gas check.
