Learn to cast your own.

After getting into reloading about a year ago, this is my next step. Casting wouldn't, however, be of much use when it comes to homerolling .223 / 5.56.

OTOH. Corbin sells a neat little swaging setup that'll convert used .22lr brass and lead wire into nice hp bullets. The initial setup is a bit pricey and the process a little labor intensive, but if you can't buy finished bullets...

Pardon me while I excuse myself to scrounge wheel weights and mine the berm at the range. 8^)

True, but I prefer much larger calibers for both rifle and pistol.
