Thread: Bullet casting and reloading for 308 and shotgun

I have access to a good amount of scrap lead and thought i might give bullet casting a go if it is worth while. I plan on making bullets for 308 subs and shotgun slugs/shot but not sure it is worth the effort? With the 308 Can i avoid using gas checks if i only load to subsonic velocitys? And will a 150-180grain sub be suitable for big game?

I cant seem to find any moulds for #2 or #3 shot,are they available anywhere? Is shotgun ammo still economic to reload these days? If someone has a press they no longer use id be interested.

Cheers, Matt
