Say what you like, but if you are reloading, casting your own boolits is fun. Then you can start looking at swaging.....

After you find a load that produces the least fouling, I honestly don't think you'll need fancy tools to get rid of the fouling.
I've not needed any.

I've often thought about casting my own. What stops me is a steady, reliable source of lead. Seems like it's all spoken for and buying lead alloy cuts into the savings from pouring my own rather quickly.

Considering the most recent fiasco (government economic increase via control scare) having at least a small stash of lead could be the difference between 'ammo or no ammo'. Considering the recent loss of national lead production (thanks EPA...and stupid manufacturing process) it may be a good idea to plan ahead. But, just being able to make the whole thing from scratch (at least as much as a person can reduce that to) can be pretty satisfying. Even consideration of alternate materials will become more important as various agencies take away everything harmful.
