Son, settle in your mind what weapon/weapons you will bug out with.
next find the bullet size each likes best. Cast and stash those.
you can shoot 451-452 in a 454 or even in a 458.
better yet get a muzzle loader. cast appropriate balls and make your own powder. that can be done in any bug out camp or even in a cave full of neanderthals. Could you not grasp that this could be for future generations......?

Don’t know if they still do but Lee used to make hand lube kits with a little pan, a sizing die and punch. You put the bullets base down in the pan and melted your Alox lube. You then used the supplied cutter to remove the bullets from the lube and punched them through the sizing die with the punch and a hammer. It was slow but it worked just fine. You could even seat gas checks.

Interesting concept. Since none of this is going to be a fast process have you considered a few different molds in various sizes? Aluminum molds for a few common calibers, eliminate the sizing issue. Toss in a few handfulls of assorted lead bullets that could be used as is or recast for your needs.

Is their a system offered for sizing bullets "Without" a press....? Yeah, pour them to the size you need.

Haven't split them up for now. Will do so when they are ready to launch (loaded).
