Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Shot placement and cast bullets

When people who do not cast their own, ask about busnesses up here that sell hard cast bullets, I give them the names of two guys who will make what they need. I explain that hard bullets are usually not what you want. Then, I recommend Lyman No 2 or softer and provide them with some Lyman loads.

For hunters who want to start casting their own, I tell them to buy a Lyman Cast Bullet book, have a read, and keep it simple. Besides Lyman No. 2 alloy, I recommend two or three popular molds from which to choose, to learn on. I invite them over if schedules permit.

Work through the learning curve. Shoot, and be happy.
