Copper casting

[MLGrace]

i see that there are various molds available to cast bullets. Has anyone done this with copper? I load primarily 7mm bullets. I also have a bunch of copper rods. Just wondering and really only interested in case the future becomes bleak for us shooters.

No, there's no one out there making molds for copper bullets for hobbyists. My understanding is that manufacturers don't even go down the casting route and machine there solid copper bullets. If you've got a hydraulic press you could get into swaging bullets for your rifle using various jacket materials.
