    In response to the poster below, USPS doesn't ship finished ammo, but bullets or empty brass is OK. I worked @ a USPS Distribution Center for many years & we had a local client who manufactured hard cast lead bullets. Every day he mailed 12 to 30 boxes of that stuff. Some boxes only weighed 50#, but many pushed the 70# limit for priority mail.

    Nice haul! Do you go straight to casting pot or do you do some prep step with lead. Which lee mold do you use for 9mm? I am using the lee 356-120-TC with good success, just curios as I may want to use a different mold. I already buy from RMR, but have not casted any of their lead. Appreciate the video!

    • @TheLarkinsLair
      @TheLarkinsLair  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      With the lead from RMR, I don't do any prep at all, I just pull it out of the box and stick it in the pot. Up to this point I have only cast pistol rounds. You may want harder lead if you cast for a rifle. For 9mm I use the 356-125-2R (6 cavity), it is a great mold. But as long as yours works for you then that is all you need. Thanks for watching!

      If you add 2.5 to 3 percent tin you will have an alloy fully capable of 2400 fps and capable of low velocity pistol ammo as well
      Tin mixed with equal parts antimony allows the alloy to be hard yet ductile or malleable which means it expands instead of breaking

      Lead is 2,448.35 per ton; which is less than $2/lb. I suspect he paid less than $2000 for the lead. At this point, primers are about seven cents each. You can recycle brass about 10 times. A 1000 count box of brass should last him a few years before his barrels are worn out.
