Some people get into reloading thinking they can make ammo at a much lower cost. Some people get into reloading to make better ammo, tuned for a certain rifle or purpose. While both CAN be true, neither is guaranteed by any means. If you do choose to pursue reloading, you will probably go out and shoot a lot more.

Lead is pretty much the go-to metal when it comes to making bullets. That is because lead is cheap, dense, soft, and has a low melting point. But of course, bullets can be made out of other metals.

Which metal is best to make bullets with? Traditionally lead is as good as it gets. It can be alloyed to make harder for higher velocity or copper jacketed for even greater velocity in high powered rifles and handguns. It's dense for its size and is easy to cast in molds at home or in the field.

You do require a Federal license to manufacture ammunition for sale however. But for personal fun, experimentation and development, the only rule is that you follow local, State and Federal law with regards to possession of ammunition itself.

Most pistol bullets are made of a lead-antimony alloy encased in a soft brass or copper-plated soft steel jacket. In rifle and machine-gun bullets, a soft core of lead is encased in a harder jacket of steel or cupronickel. Armour-piercing bullets have a hardened-steel inner core.

Handloading, or reloading, is the practice of making firearm cartridges by assembling the individual components (case, primer, propellant, and projectile), rather than purchasing mass-assembled, factory-loaded ammunition.

Adding one part tin to wheel weights, which already contain antimony, makes good hard bullets. Sometimes wheel weights are a workable alloy once they are melted, fluxed and skimmed. One of the hardest and most accurate alloys for casting bullets is linotype metal, which is 4 percent tin and about 11 percent antimony.

A cast bullet is made by allowing molten metal to solidify in a mold. Most cast bullets are made of lead alloyed with tin and antimony; but zinc alloys have been used when lead is scarce, and may be used again in response to concerns about lead toxicity.
