I'm always looking for a "Better" bullet for my handguns. In this case "Better" really means cheaper. Because of the amount of lead I send down range every year I was compelled to start casting my own a few years ago. I have learned allot about casting and while it has cut my bullet expenses down by more than half, it is still a dreaded process for me. When it comes to reloading casting bullets is my least favorite thing to do. Setup time alone drives me crazy. I admit I could trim that down by organizing the area I use to cast bullets but the desire to get away from the molten lead is stronger than refining my process.
I posted a thread on Harvey's Port-X- Bore bullets at the HUB but it didn't get much attention and died a lonely death. I am interested in you guys opinion of these swagged zinc washer base bullets. I have already purchased the dies and zinc washers for 9mm and already have several spools of soft lead. I also have a couple of spare barrels, one of which I will use to test the SHERARDIZED process they talk about on their website. I haven't received the dies as of yet but one of the things I like about this is that the bullet weight can be adjusted with ease. The other plus is that it doesn't require a massive press to swag these bullets.
Anybody tried these?

A few of those guys have a lot of experience and horse sense. So far none the the "wise men" have entered the thread, but one guy said this: "I used the zinc based swaged bullets in a TC 44 magnum, 10 inch barrel. Shot well and what ever leading (?) fell out with one swipe of a bush."
Pooh I hope you find to right house .
