Hmm, that would be interesting as it is trendy for older shooters to make their own bullets!

What? Old folks trendy? Not in this household!

If you are talking about black powder muskets and rifles, yes. Many shooters cast their own bullets. If we are talking modern rifle and pistol rounds, very rare for one to cast their own rounds. One may purchase new brass shell casings or re-use old ones if in good shape. One purchases the correct grain weight round (bullet) in the correct caliber, inserts a new primer, correct amount of powder and inserts the round using specialized tools. A somewhat costly investment in equipment unless you do a lot of shooting in a few different calibers.
