I bought cast bullets for a short time. Then I bought a cheap Lee mould, an old pan, and a ladle. It was far easier to cast good bullets than I'd suspected. Some years, a couple dozen moulds, and a couple bottom-pour pots later, I dislike paying for bullets if I can pour my own. Playing with alloys and treatments gives me whatever performance I desire. Powder coating has made loading cast for some problem "children" quite enjoyable. Now casting is just another part of the fun.
