Anyone Cast and shoot Boolits

[Wolfdog91 6,919]

Anyone here cast and shoot their own boolits ? Give me a break on the spelling apparently if you cast your own out of lead you supposed to call them boolits instead of bullets , find it kinda odd but hay,all in good fun I reckon lol.

Anyhow been getting my little set up together  trying to buy used to keep the price down and all.So far got a bottom pour lead pot a .312 dia mold for my 7.62x39 and 7.62x54r  and two .225 molds for my .223 and 5.56. Going to try and see how powder coating works. Still waiting for some more sizing dies and a few other odds and ends to pop up on the used pages  but figure when I get all set up it will be a fun deal. Apparently getting cast boolits to run though the AR platform takes alot of tinkering and tweaking  but when you can get a few hundred boolits per pound of alloy seems like a reasonable trade off.

Anyhow wanted to see if Any of you guys across the pond dabbled in casting for anything.

Only casting I have done is ball.

They are still bullets in my book.

Boolits is as nuts as some folk calling bullets, heads!

Gav on here has done some. I'm waiting for his reports.
