ive been loading ammo since I was 13 years old, had an uncle who was a commercial custom loader, i learned a lot from him and also one of my best friends dad was a really good caster and handloader, so i aquired some knowledge from him also.
wheel weights make good bullets for hand gun cartridges and even good low velocity plinking loads for some rifles, just run them through a lube-sizer and crimp a gas check on the base and they do a good job for plinking and even small to medium game short range hunting.
I use a small amount of lynotype alloy in mine to make them hard enough so barrel leading is keep under control.
Ammo loading and things down these linescome tosurface in my blood every fall, and I tend to put other things on the back burner and start working up new loads and experimenting with differents aspect of loading for the rifle i plan to take my whitetail deer with.
Im no expert but i know enough to enjoy working up good loads for myself and some friends and family, its fun working up difernt loads in search of the component combination a particular gun likes best, there is no suchthing as a universal load, factory loads are ok and get the job done just fine, but not a single load I shoot can be bought anywhere, they're all custom and I really enjoy working them up.
sorry for the brief hijack here YILDS....
