The following is step-by-step on how we cast bullets.  Please contact us with any question that you may have about this process.  We don’t guarantee that our techniques will work for you.

CAUTION: Casting lead or lead alloy bullets may result in exposure to lead and other substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm and other serious physical harm.  Have adequate ventilation at all times.  Wash hands after exposure. Always use safety glasses and protective clothing when casting bullets to protect against spills and splashes.
