[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1680183, member: 105102"] If you are set up for casting already, most of your cost is covered! If you are not already, I would look into Powder Coating cast bullets.....Shake and bake method is easy and cheap, and all you need is a small toaster oven. (don't get sucked into all you read on the interwebs). I can't give you a total cost breakdown without looking, but I can tell you that I'm making Powder Coated 9mm bullets for less than $0.035 each. And shooting them through a Glock Polygonal Barrel without issue. Look at Arsenal Molds...... they have a 200 grain 10mm mold, and you can pick up a 4 cavity Mold for $75.00, and I think their molds are fantastic. (I have two of their 5 cavity molds) They also have 2 cavity molds for cheaper. I have been watching for a deal on a 220 gr 10mm mold, but haven't come across one yet. I just Ran the numbers for a 220 grain 10mm PC bullet and you would be around $0.055 cents each....For a Bullet with a 14.4 BHN Prior to water Quenching....My guess is after water quenching you'd be around 19-20 BHN. Note this price is based off buying Lead, Monotype, and tin off the internet, so if you scrounge like a lot of casters do, it should even be cheaper! [/QUOTE]
