Anyone out in internet land cast bullets?
I've come across some lead recently.

I may be hitting you guys up for some advice, and maybe assistance getting my casting setup going. One of the first things after I get my equipment and first mold will most likely be a decent source prefer local, but if Rotmetals is the best choice I will use them. I will be casting for several different calibers, and types of guns. One of which is an air rifle in 257, so those will be in the 10 to 1 or so range, as they need to be a little softer than the hard cast I use in 45, 357, 9, and 45/70.

P.S. Anyone already have a Lyman 257420 mold that they are not using?

Make sure that you use the gas checks when you load the lead bullets

Midway has them for a reasonable price
