I’ve been “rolling my own” for years.
Passing this knowledge along to my teens as well. Just about everything we shoot, we can make ourselves. As far as ammo is concerned.
Question for you about reloading. Where do you get your lead for casting bullets? I have been told that many tire stores will let you take or sell to you, some of their tire lead weights. But that lead seems a bit hard for bullets.
Thoughts / recommendations?
