Lead free .308 bullets alone cost more than Aquila ammo...
1... and way more than anything by Wolf. I thought reloading was supposed to be cheaper than buying factory ammo. Maybe I’m not looking at the right vendors.

I didn't realize ammoseek does projectiles as well. Thanks for the non-calgun type response. I'm just now starting my search for reloading info. Lots of stuff to learn.senorgrand wrote:ammoseek.com

You bring up something I hadn't considered yet. What does one use for lead free casting?ErikO wrote:I'll stick with lead until something denser is approved for private use.
Then again, I am a fan of making projectiles vs buying them even if I do not cast/swage myself. Yet.
Don't want to poison the environment while hunting? Do not miss and definitely carry out your offal. Lead residue in gut piles would be 90% of lead reintroduced to the environment. Scavengers would be the primary vector right after those who do not think anything of leaving the organ meat behind. B eyond that, it falls to badly maintained indoor ranges and dry tumbling.

Just be carefull...the cheapest non-lead ammo is usually frangible...no go for hunting.m1ckDELTA wrote:I didn't realize ammoseek does projectiles as well. Thanks for the non-calgun type response.
