Does anyone cast their own ammo for 38 or 357 bullets? Would you be willing to cast 6 for me made of silver? (I'll provide the silver.) I know it sounds strange, but I'd like 6 silver bullets for my 357.

Thanks;

Never hurts to be prepared for any eventuality.

Therein lies my problem. I have guns/ammo/supplies for a natural disaster, revolution, the apacolypse or a large zombie outbreak. I have a wooded lot, so a pointy stick to kill vampires will not be a problem. But if warewolves attack my family and I are crap out of luck. I can't stop them with my sharp wit, and breaking their bones with sticks and stones will likely get me eaten. I like to be prepared for all possibilities, that way whatever happens, however improbable, I have a plan to protect my family.

That being said, if there are 7 warewolves I'm still screwed

I'd ask Tony.I think he casts his own.

it would be very hard to melt silver using lead casting equiptment - silver has a much higher melting point -

Anyone seen Tonto?

unfortunately the melting point of silver is higher than aluminum, the material of my molds. I have torches and such that would melt silver, but no molds that'll handle it. Having said that, buy a steel mold and do it your self. Or, buy me one and I'll give it a shot. (no promises)

I wonder if you could electroplate a lead bullet with silver?

I don't have casting experience. It looks like I close the mold pour the metal and let cool. Is there much more to it then that? I have a friend that works at a metal shop so he can melt the silver for me.

Thanks.

But $70/round is too steep for my blood :-P

FYI, according to lore and legend, the silver must be inherited. So it can't just be any silver.
