Cheaper alternative to Laser-Cast bullets

[jeffrice6]

Anyone have an alternative to Laser-Cast. I really like laser cast and have been running them for awhile now in 9mm .357 and .44............Just hoping there is a similar quality bullet manufacturer out there with a lower price point.

it would help if you named those price points and what sort of bulk you are looking to buy in.

I buy in 500 count. Which depending on caliber can run $55 to $70. Just lookin for some quality/accurate relatively inexpensive hard cast bullets.

I cast my own with free lead and Jake's lube. I think the lube costs about $0.50/500 rounds of .45. That's the least expensive way I can think of.

What equipment does that require?

What equipment does that require?

I am currently using a 20lb Lyman pot, a mold (obviously, a different mold for every bullet you want to cast), a lubesizer (for bulk pistol bullets, you can't beat a Star lubesizer) and the proper sizing die/top punch (if needed). Oh, yea, gloves are a must too.

You can do a google search, I have found some good stuff that way. Also try gunbroker, they have good deals every now and again.

Just noticed your in Norcal, what part? If you are local to me I might be able to recommend some shops that carry lead cast bullets.

I'm in Sac.....but don't mind ordering. Like I said, I'm looking for laser cast quality or similar for a better price.

www.bulletworks.com Last month I ordered 6K of the 200 grain LSWC think I paid for $85.00 per K shipping included. Best hard cast bullet I have ever shot.
