When I used to shoot full-bore pistols I reloaded all the calibres ( 357, 9mm, 32acp, 45acp, 45lc, 40sw)

I cast all my own bullets using lee moulds and a lee smelter.

The smelter worked fine- provided you left it long enough to come up to temperature, also important to keep topping it up , nrever let it run dry as it's a pain to start off another load of lead from 'dry'
