Making your own Ammo. Reloading. Bullet Casting. What's it all about and why should every shooter learn how to do this? Well I say it's fun. It's cost effective. It's a great feeling of accomplishment, and a great skill to have that needs to be passed down from generation to generation.

So pull up a chair, and let's get started...!

DO NOT Buy or use .009- .011" Aluminum Flashing from Amerimax or any Box Hardware Store!  It is All tempered to hard and not suitable for gas checks and can damage dies! I will no longer replace any dies used with this metal. Please check carefully.
