It looks as if the only thing even remotely close to a low enough melting temperature to cast bullets other than lead, would be zinc or aluminum. Am i missing another material that could work? I have seen some indication that some here have tried zinc, but no one screaming the benefits. I would be worried about removing zinc or aluminum form a fouled barrel. Swaging seems like an option but seems way to time consuming and expensive to get set up in. It looks to me like we will all need to be making primers, bullets and powder before too long if we are going to continue to shoot. I think that we need to as a group fund a coop to start making primers soon. If a corporation was formed and everybody from several of the shooting websites got together and chipped in 2 or 3 hundred $ each and started our own primer plant and we only bought primers from ourselves, we would be funding our sport instead of corporate wall street thieves. I am sorry about rambling but it looks like we are being pushed out of existence. Many are upset that a foreign firm is buying most of the ammo and component production in the USA, it remains to be seen if it will be good or bad.
