Bullet Mould Materials People have been casting their own bullets for literally hundreds of years.  While the idea of pouring molten lead into a mould hasn’t changed much over that time, the technology used to do it most certainly has.  In this article we’ll be taking a look at the three most commonly used mould […]

With the plethora of different mould manufacturers and styles available to the modern bullet caster, selecting the one that's right for you can be a little overwhelming.  When you're looking for pure production at an affordable price, you're going to find it hard to beat Lee Precision's 6-cavity commercial design.
