I was browsing through the "Things you've overheard at the gun shop" thread earlier. Someone was recounting how they were looking for components to load some self defense rounds. The shop owner told him that he should never do this since you can't load a reliable round. To which the customer replied "No, YOU can't load a reliable round" and left. I'm seeing a parallel here.
I'm not saying anything about the ability of this particular guy to make his own bullets but I am a firm believer of doing it one's self. I'm dangerously close to going off on a rant here but I'm fed up with the "leave it to the experts" line that I've heard too many times. With enough know how, good tools and good information there is no reason you shouldn't be able to make something that can match or exceed commercially made products. That's where so much innovation comes from.
Now this may or may not be a cost effective way of producing bullets but along the way this guy learned a little something about metallurgy, holding tolerances and ballistics. That's worth something in my opinion.
Sorry for the rant.
Just my luck some idiot is going to see this, get inspired and blow his hand off. *Sigh* Ok, make SURE you KNOW what you are doing otherwise it's best to leave it to the experts.
