The term bullet is often mistakenly used to describe a round of ammunition as a whole, but in fact the actual “bullet” is only one component of the cartridge. The bullet is the metal projectile, usually made of lead, at the end of the round. It is sometimes referred to as a slug. While the vast majority of ammunition is manufactured in factories, many people choose to make their own. Casting your own ammunition has long been a tradition practiced by hunters and gamekeepers, and it’s a great way to save money.

In this series of free video clips you’ll learn how to safely cast your own ammunition. Expert hunter John Borg takes you through the process step-by-step, showing you what equipment you’ll need to get started, how to prepare the jacket for reloading, and how to cast different types of rounds for various guns. John also offers tips and techniques for creating efficient workflow, cleaning the workspace and how to deal with dud rounds.
