For role-playing purposes? My sniper used to, all the time. "Won't
trust the job to amateurs," was her motto. Made every bullet a work
of art, brushed, sanded, polished, then embossed the Chinese symbol
for death on every one. Cost her more than buying ammo, but it was SO
worth it. Making your own ammo also helps for guns with hard-to-get
custom ammo, like that troublesome Barret Model 121.

D'oh! I didn't notice that! I keep on referring to FoF for info on
caseless ammo, so my brain just kinda skipped right over that, Thanks
for pointing it out, but does the caseless version still hold more
ammo? I didn't notice any mention of that.
