@supergoat343 the gas check issue you could just spend 20 bucks for a wad punch from a black powder supply in your caliber. Put a felt wad in under the lead bullet and its just as good for stopping leading as a gas check without the expense of buying or hassle of punching em out yourself with a freechex.

Some reloaders "swag" their bullets, pouring lead into a copper sleeve that is then shaped. Its really the only practical way to create jacketed bullets at home. Solid lead is far easier to make and can be used for almost all calibers and loads. Make sure that you use gas checks for high velocity rounds though.

Teflon burns away at 500 degrees.
And is very toxic when it burns.
