lead bullets
A bullet is a projectile and a component of firearm ammunition that is expelled from a gun barrel during shooting. The term is from Middle French and originated as the diminutive of the word boulle (boullet), which means "small ball". Bullets are made of a variety of materials such as copper, lead, steel, polymer, rubber and even wax. They are available either singly, as in muzzleloading and cap and ball firearms, or as components of paper cartridges, but much more commonly in the form of metallic cartridges. Bullets are made in various shapes and constructions depending on the intended applications, including specialized functions such as hunting, target shooting, training and combat.
Although the word bullet is often used in colloquial language to refer to a cartridge round, a bullet is not a cartridge but rather a component of one. A round of ammunition cartridge is a combination package of the bullet (which is the projectile), the case (which holds everything together), the propellant (which provides the majority of the energy to launch the projectile) and the primer (which ignites the propellant). This use of the term bullet when intending to describe a cartridge often leads to confusion when the components of a cartridge are specifically referred to.
Bullet sizes are expressed by their weights and diameters (referred to as "calibers") in both imperial and metric measurement systems. For example: 55 grain .223 caliber bullets are of the same weight and caliber as 3.56 gram 5.56mm caliber bullets.
The bullets used in many cartridges are fired at muzzle velocities faster than the speed of sound — about 343 metres per second (1,130 ft/s) in dry air at 20 °C (68 °F) — and thus can travel a substantial distance to a target before a nearby observer hears the sound of the shot. The sound of gunfire (i.e. the muzzle report) is often accompanied with a loud bullwhip-like crack as the supersonic bullet pierces through the air creating a sonic boom. Bullet speeds at various stages of flight depend on intrinsic factors such as its sectional density, aerodynamic profile and ballistic coefficient, and extrinsic factors such as barometric pressure, humidity, air temperature and wind speed. Subsonic cartridges fire bullets slower than the speed of sound so there is no sonic boom. This means that a subsonic cartridge, such as .45 ACP, can be substantially quieter than a supersonic cartridge such as the .223 Remington, even without the use of a suppressor.Bullets do not normally contain explosives, but damage the intended target by transferring kinetic energy upon impact and penetration (see terminal ballistics).

Digging through the shed again.
I found some .30 cal gas checked bullets. I am counting and weighing them this weekend.
I found a few gas checks as well (not sure how many of them I have though,)
Thought I'd see if anyone is interested.
At this time I thin I have three boxes of 50 count on 190...
280 lbs of cast lead bullets, various calibers, sizes and weights, some sized and lubed, some paper patched and some just cast... most could be used for reloading or remelted to cast new bullets
I picked up a bunch of 215gr 41 mag lead T&B bullets that are sized at .411. Could they be easily pushed through a lee 401 sizer die and used for loading in 10mm and maybe 40cal?
This guy supposedly did it:

Hardcast lead 9mm 125gr RN bullets for reloading. $80 per 1000, will also trade for small pistol/rifle primers. I currently have 6k of these bullets for sale.
A few months ago I decided to take my hobby and turn it into a side hustle. I currently have several calibers of Cast Lead and Coated bullets available for purchase. My lead bullets are 16 BHN made with a 92/6/2 alloy and lubed with White Label lube. Coated bullets are made with the same 92/6/2...
124gr lead bullets, qty150. Not all of them have gas checks on so I’m including a box of a bunch of gas checks.

260 lead round nose bullets with gas checks. I traded for these so don’t know much about them.

Hello all,
I am looking to buy some Magma Engineering equipment. I would like to buy or trade for a Master Caster or a Mark 8 caster.
Also open to like products from different companies. Like Ballisti-cast and others I don't know about
please Pm me or post to this thread what you have.
Thank...
