I cast for 45-70 and .45 Auto religiously. For .40, I'll only cast if i can get the lead for free. Otherwise, the cost of tin, lube, and propane make casting .40 more hassle than its worth compared to simply putting in an order with Bear Creek, which I use exclusively for competition ammo. I use the same lee mold as the gentleman above for .40 and it really does produce some great shooting bullets.

If cost isn't your concern, then having a huge stockpile of lead will provide you with a steady supply of bullets that isn't affected by supply shocks as we're experiencing now.
