    I won't knock anyone who wants to do that, but I barely have time to load commercially made bullets in ammo, much less make each bullet by hand.

    Even my cast bullets are bought by the box of 500

    Very impressive, it’s fascinating to see the steps and the attention to detail.

    Definitely not a time friendly operation. On average, I spend about 8 hours per 1000 bullets. This is spread out over a few days.

    When I was learning to make bullets, all of the old timers who were showing me the ropes made it very clear (multiple times) that "winter is for bullet makin and huntin, the rest of the year is for benchrest"

    Thanks!

    Ultimately, the finished product makes it worth the effort. Plus, its kinda cool to know that you are shooting and winning with bullets you made.
