Been thinking about that. Not to hunt with, but just to make shooting a bunch cheap. What would lead bullets do in a gas operated auto though (Browning Bar)? If it would make it unreliable or a pain to clean, I think I'd rather just pay for bullets. If not, I'm all for it. I already cast and I have a buddy with that mold I could borrow.

It might be lonely at the top, but it's a bitch at the bottom.
