    In response to the poster below, USPS doesn't ship finished ammo, but bullets or empty brass is OK. I worked @ a USPS Distribution Center for many years & we had a local client who manufactured hard cast lead bullets. Every day he mailed 12 to 30 boxes of that stuff. Some boxes only weighed 50#, but many pushed the 70# limit for priority mail.

      I am going to shoot them into steel targets! But you are right I didn't say 35K rounds, I said bullets. Even then it was just lead so it took a LOT of effort for me to make them into bullets. All of which I have now cast into a LOT of bullets.

  • @Impossibly-Possible
    @Impossibly-Possible Před 3 hodinami +1

    ok its been 3 years how did it go? are they accurate? what choices of grain weights and bullet shapes did you go with? I am using 115 grain for practice they shoot 1 hole groups for 12.99 for 50 of them the cheapest and most accurate also, and the +p ammo is only 65 grains and 16 dollars for 26, I am thinking of using the 115 grain ones for everything, a bullet is a bullet and hollow points are the reason most people survive a shooting because the round breaks apart before doing damage or deflects on hitting something in the way or that they are wearing. I want pure penetration for LARGE very MUSCLE filled BEASTS with muscle density much higher than a man so they basically stop rounds before doing any real damage. I need something that will pass right through thick fur and muscle that is 6-15" thick and more dense than ours by many times and bones larger and heavier than ours.

  • @randylott8392
    @randylott8392 Před 3 lety +3

    Nice haul! Do you go straight to casting pot or do you do some prep step with lead. Which lee mold do you use for 9mm? I am using the lee 356-120-TC with good success, just curios as I may want to use a different mold. I already buy from RMR, but have not casted any of their lead. Appreciate the video!

    • @TheLarkinsLair
      @TheLarkinsLair  Před 3 lety +2

      With the lead from RMR, I don't do any prep at all, I just pull it out of the box and stick it in the pot. Up to this point I have only cast pistol rounds. You may want harder lead if you cast for a rifle. For 9mm I use the 356-125-2R (6 cavity), it is a great mold. But as long as yours works for you then that is all you need. Thanks for watching!

      If you add 2.5 to 3 percent tin you will have an alloy fully capable of 2400 fps and capable of low velocity pistol ammo as well
      Tin mixed with equal parts antimony allows the alloy to be hard yet ductile or malleable which means it expands instead of breaking

      Lead is 2,448.35 per ton; which is less than $2/lb. I suspect he paid less than $2000 for the lead. At this point, primers are about seven cents each. You can recycle brass about 10 times. A 1000 count box of brass should last him a few years before his barrels are worn out.
