Anyone on here cook their own bullets?
I got a ship load of pennies I need to do something with and wonder if the copper alloy is suitable for bullet casting.

No. You can't cast copper like lead.

So much for that SHTF idea. I guess I'll stock up on tire and fishing weights.

From 1982 on, they only have 2.5% copper. They are primarily zinc

No , but get you some wheel weights and give it a go. I love doing it saves me a lot of money and I really like plinking with them. Never run out of bullets
