Casting requires a heat source, a melting pot, casting metal, and a mold. Having good ventilation is also a must. While there are a number of steps (and books written on the subject), in brief- select the alloy of lead/tin/antimony for the bullet you want to cast. The metal is melted, and fluxed (usually a small bit of beeswax added to the melted metal) Metal is dipped from the pot by ladle and poured into the bullet mold. The sprue cutter of the mold clips off the excess metal, mold is opened, releasing the bullet. Some bullets will need to be sized and lubed, and some have a gas check (harder metal cap) placed on the base.

380 and 9mm projectiles are .355 in diameter _________________________ Most of the time, when people use the term 9mm, they are referring to a 9mm parabellum. A 9mm parabellum cannot be fired from a .380. The 9mm cartridge is longer. _________________________ The BULLET is the part of the cartridge that is the projectile.
