Has any of you done business with Reed's Ammunition ?  Just ordered some bullets from them for the first time . Wondering if any others has used their bullets ? ,,,,,DT

I am not familiar with Reed's. Could you provide a link?

I just came from the basement where I was cutting 5 pound lead ingots into 2 pieces, so they will fit in my casting pot. Casting my own bullets is not a bad way to spend an afternoon, but I would prefer to buy the bullets ready to go.

Be cautious about proper adequate ventilation. Casting for me is an outdoor activity.
And I may be wrongly assuming you are casting in the basement, not just cutting lead ingots . . .
if so, ignore my cautionary.

You can Google Reeds Ammunition , their site will come up . They don't have a large selection of cast bullets , but worth a look. ,,,DT

Yes, I do cast in the basement, but I have an overhead exhaust fan vented to the outdoors. My shop is not heated, and outdoors is way too cold.
