[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 442566, member: 704"] I have reloaded ammo that I do cheaply, and I have ammo that's very expensive on time and money. I cast lead for handgun ammo and old cartridges like the 45/70. For a 300 win mag, 308, or my 6.5 Creedmoor I use match dies, expensive bullets, and spend hours neck turning brass. I do it because I dump a good rifle that will not shoot under 1/2 inch 100 yard groups. The handgun ammo I know is better than I can shoot. If you don't go beyond about 1100 fps you don't need to add tin, or antimony to the wheel weights, and I got 1000 lb of them free. That's ok for target, but I add my tin and antimony for stout 10mm and 44 mag loads. Casting 9mm[ATTACH type="full" alt="761.jpg"]73833[/ATTACH] Neck turning 6.5 Creedmoor. Even Lapua brass has inconsistent neck thickness, --- or consistently not uniform. Neck thickness on my 6.5x284 on the same piece of brass was .013 to .017.
