USSR,

Yes, it is cheaper, but I don't feel comfortable shooting full lead in my Carbines.
I cast 45 long colt for my single action years ago and hated the leading build up issues in the handgun.
Are you using the wheel weights as is, or are you mixing them with something elso too? Kind of soft as is aren't they?

Jim,

I'm using alot of linotype. I believe the last batch consisted of 6# linotype and 2# WW. No sign of leading. Yes, you need to get more tin and antimony into wheelweights to make for a harder alloy.

After searching a few gunshops and a few Walmarts I was able to get 1 box of Remington 110 grain FMJ. Paid 27 bucks for 50 rounds! Had to drive an hour too but was seeing my family so no biggy. The store clerk said my last box and dont expect anymore in. I'm shocked how rare 30 carbine has gotten. Guess I'll get some dies and hunt brass to reload.

.380? I have a couple of .380s and some of my ammo has sat for long that the box of CCI "Lawman" has had the foam rubber insert turn to goo. .380 is for when ya really gotta pull the trigger. Otherwise, they just sit...

just received my ship notice on the two five hundred boxes I ordered from the CMP on 3/30/09. Will be at my door in 4 days. Good ammo, and low prices, took 4 months to ship, but that's ok with me.
