I've got a bunch of hard cast loaded for my 475's and my 410GNR but I primarily shoot xtp's for hunting. I'm in the middle of building a 500 Linebaugh and I'll be using 435gr Cast Performance bullets in it and I shoot alot of standard cast in my 45 colts.

Do you mean cast their own bullets or shoot cast bullets??
I shoot a LOT of cast bullets but do not cast my own. I'd like to get into bullet casting...that may be a good thread to start. If anyone has tips on casting and equipment needed...please list it here...if that's ok w/ the original poster.

I don't cast them either but with ammo availability already dwindling and things likely to get worse I may start. I can see it now, there is going to be a rash of tire weight thefts. LOL then again maybe that's not funny.

Good idea dan. yea if anybody has any tips that would be great!. i have been casting bullets for about 20 years now. i would say #1 have a well ventleted space. dont eat or drink when your casting, buy a good book on the subject,(will save u some headaches) make sure you smoke your molds, flux your lead. Anybody else feel free to add info.
