I've always wondered how long it'd take to recoup the expense if I could turn out my own bullets from either brass or bronze with an old B&S OOO turning machine.
I made some field point arrow tips, at one time, that still work just fine.

I do it just for the fun of it, to be honest unless you’re like us and have the equipment to play with and don’t mind spending some time then it isn’t worth the effort for the few bucks we save. I turned my bullets because the wasn’t anything I could find for that caliber, and it only took me about 1/2 hour to draw it, program it, I had all the tools set up already so I was dropping off a bullet every 18 seconds or so.
