Also contains a Historical Overview of Cast Bullet Ballistics. This is an invaluable reference for cast bullet shooters. A cast bullet is made by allowing molten metal to solidify in a mold. Most cast bullets are made of lead alloyed with tin and antimony; but zinc alloys have been used when lead is scarce, and may be used again in response to concerns about lead toxicity. Most commercial bullet manufacturers use swaging in preference to casting, but bullet casting remains popular with handloaders. 1 History 2 Cast bullet advantages 3 Safety 4 Bullet shapes 5 Gas checks 6 Bullet lubrication 7 Bullet alloys 8 Heat treating 9 Paper-patched bullets 10 Notes 11 References Early, spherical cast bullets, found on the site of the Battle of Naseby (1645), Northampton Museum and Art Gallery Firearms projectiles were being cast in the 14th century. Iron was used for cannon, while lead was the preferred material for small arms. Lead was more expensive than iron, but it was softer and less damaging to the relatively weak iron barrels of early muskets. Lead could be cast in a ladle over a wood fire used for cooking or home heating, while casting iron required higher temperatures. Greater density of lead allowed lead bullets to retain velocity and energy better than iron bullets of the same weight and initial firing velocity. Swaging, rather than casting, became a preferred manufacturing technique during the 19th century industrial revolution; but cast bullets remained popular in early rimmed black powder cartridges like the .32-20 Winchester, .32-40 Ballard, .38-40 Winchester, .38-55 Winchester, .44-40 Winchester, .45 Colt, and .45-70. Disadvantages became evident as loadings shifted to smokeless powder in the late 19th century. Higher velocity smokeless powder loadings caused lead to melt and be torn from soft bullets to remain in the barrel after firing in small deposits called leading. Manufacturers of high-velocity military ammunition modified their bullet swaging process to apply a thin sheet of stronger metal over the soft lead bullet. Although it took several decades to devise bullet jacket alloys and manufacturing procedures to duplicate the accuracy of cast bullets at lower velocities; jacketed bullets were more accurate at the velocity of 20th century military rifle cartridges.[4] Jacketed bullets also functioned more reliably and are less likely to be deformed in the mechanical loading process of self-loading pistols and machine-guns.

Lyman is the oldest current manufacturer of metallic aperture sights, telescopic rifle sights, bullet casting moulds and related equipment, metallic reloading dies and presses, reloading handbooks, and add on shot gun chokes in the United States. One hundred years in business is an accomplishment which would not have been possible without the interest and support of the American shooter. C. Kenneth Ramage, was an American retail company executive. He was a member of Connecticut State Rifle and Revolver Association (president 1985-1986), National Muzzleloading Rifle Association, Cast Bullet Association, Association Importers & Manufacturers for Muzzleloading 1980-1983. The proud tradition and history of Lyman Products began simply in the late 1800's when William Lyman, an avid outdoorsman and inventor, created a product that resolved problems with gun sights of his day. The commonly used vernier sights were adequate for daytime shooting, but almost useless if lighting was not perfect. Lyman's No. 1 Tang Sight featured a small disc and a large aperture, a combination that made the thin rim almost invisible and greatly improved the shooter's vision. His patented design launched the Lyman Gun Sight Company, and today, the Lyman tang and receiver sights still utilize the same principles originated over 137 years ago to enhance both the sight picture and the speed of aiming. Through the years, Lyman has continued to develop innovative products for shooters and reloaders, carrying on the legacy of William Lyman. In 1925, the Lyman family purchased Ideal reloading products, which included the well-known Ideal reloading handbooks. Since then, Lyman handbooks have become known as the "bible" of reloading, and are considered the most trusted source for data.
