casting bullets
|
|
I picked up a Lee 10 lb bottom pour pot, 190 lbs of various miced lead and a few molds. Wish me luck and say good bye to me remaining brain cells. Any suggestions from experienced casters?

A friend of mine up near Natural Bridge casts his own, and the biggest advice I saw from him was to do it outside.

Don't start now or ever.
If you start dropping good bullets, it turns into an addiction worse than krack.
