I have to wonder , how many members cast your own bullets?
I recently priced a couple thousand 357 mag bullets from several vendors and you can literally save,
hundreds of dollars, over an amazingly short time, if you get into casting your own bullets,
even if you are forced to buy the bullet molds, lube sizers, lead melting pot etc.
even if you buy low quality cast bullets your very likely to pay at least 15 cents each or more,
and when you shoot thousands of cartridges that eventually adds up to a considerable cost
making cast your own bullets seem like a no-brainer, and if you otherwise might have used jacketed bullets ,
the cost can be several times higher (there's zero advantage, in use of jacketed bullets in a hand gun,
in accuracy or performance on game that I've experienced)
(in fact the proper hard cast designs have proven to be very accurate and lethal on deer/hogs/elk, in my experience)
I've used a 357 mag, a 10mm, a 44 mag, a 445 DWSM, and a 500 S&W all very successfully with various hard cast bullet designs
