If you want to get into casting its great, and 45 is a perfect cartridge for it. Leading is not bad once you get the alloy, and sizing right. You also can powder coat your bullets, it works just as well as the newer coatings applied by companys. Even if you dont cast your own just buy coated lead bullets, there much cheaper than jacketed bullets.
