I swore I would never cast again, but I may have to rethink that.

I've still got the furnace, SAECO sizing press, some molds for what I was casting 25 years ago, and still quite a few ingots.

But it just hasn't been worth it to me.

As long as I can find somewhat reasonably priced lead bullets, I won't go back to casting.

Not as good as the $65 I was paying all last year, but likely the best we'll see now.

To illustrate how out of control pricing is, this same bullet is now on sale for $121.99/1000.

Regular price $128.99/1000.

In six months, the sale price has increased 62%, regular price up 37%.

Edited to add: I just checked Berry's and their price is $89.32/1000.

2nd edit. When I added 1000 of the bullets to my cart, it added a lead surcharge of $39.60, bringing the total to $128.92.

So no deal at Berry's.
