Concurrently with the arrival of the Care Package from Herter's I realized I could shoot one helluva lot more if I made my own bullets too.That idea spawned my first mold, and then another, and another. First lead (scrounged wheelweights) was cast and poured into that first mold via a Campbell's soup can with a pour spout crimped into the rim, held with vicegrips, and heated with a propane torch. Bullets were lubed via the pan method (after first discovering empiracally the need for lube in the first place, but that's a story for another day), and sized with a simple push through die in the Herter's press that my Gramps made for me in his lathe. I wish I knew whatever happened to that die - I would pay serious money to have it back.
