Any bullet casters out there?

Curious if there are any other casters out there? Seems to be a dying art especially since wheel weights are no longer a good resource.

Before I moved 7 years ago, I did my fair share of casting. I've been saving my wheel weight alloy for when I finally make 7.5 shot.

I'm still casting occasionally! It's definitely getting rarer these days. I switched to using range scrap and pure lead ingots instead of wheel weights, and it's kept the hobby alive for me

I have cast a lot of boolits. I really liked the hollow points and gas checks. 00 buck was fun to play with.

Haven't cast since I moved to my new house 6 years ago.

Although I am overloaded on casting alloy, I found a local source selling a few hundred pounds of linotype.
I picked up 50 pounds and may go back for a bit more. The price was right.

It's not a dying art, just evolving! the wheel weight thing is a bummer, for sure. I've had way better luck finding scrap lead from plumbers, it's a lot cleaner, and you know what you're getting

I've been a caster. Started in 1975 so I'm a newbie.
