can you use copper wire to cast bullets instead of using lead?


The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.

So theoretically you can but you'll run into a lot of problems regarding getting good fill out, mold warpage, the. Expand price, the list goes on. The new alternative alot of people are trying is zinc

Buy Barnes copper bullets as they are top notch. TTSX are proven big game bullets.

you would need a different mold , an aluminum or brass mold wouldn't take the heat and wouldn't be sized right even if in cast iron to make the bullet the right size

copper bullets are drawn and formed not cast
