So I know you can cast your own slugs. Can you also cast your

You probably could, but it'd take more expensive machinery than you'd want to bother with unless you were running a production business.

You don't cast casings, so no.

>>29459222
I was going to say something but then I realized I don't exactly know how casings are made...

they start out as a little button of brass and are stretched into shape by various machines

Yes
I have made over 500 12.7 and around a thousand 303 British HE rounds
Though I have very expensive tools at my disposal

Sort of like putting on a condom.

Cased are drawn brass nowadays. Some very expensive or specialty cases are milled from solid bars, which is a much better option than casting, as you would still need to punch flash holes, finish trim, and remove casting imperfections.

So it seems unless you have highly expensive machines, casting shells is a no go.

Can one cast brass slugs? Since brass has a low melting point? Use .22lr used shells for the material. Seems like a good way to save, if you don't have ready accessible lead around you

the more you know

if I remember correctly. brass casings start from small nuggets cut from roundstock of brass, or from discs from plates. they are then run through several stages of annealing and cold extrusion.
followed by punching, rolling, and machining to final spec.

you would need an ammo factory to do it.
the mechanical properties of the casings, that are work hardened are designed to handle the pressures. if you cast them they cant handle the pressure.
