[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1193506, member: 423"] I cast because all the equipment for casting is on loan to me from my f-i-l, so I didn't have the startup cost. The molds I've used were both Lee, a 2 cavity 230gr .452 RN, and a 6 cavity 158gr .358 SWC. They take a while to get completely warmed up and give good bullets, but nothing bad. So far I've just been 're-casting' as in, I melt down cast lead bullets I dug out of the backstop on my property and re-cast them. I use a coleman 2 burner stove for heat, use a small lead pot and a dipper. Takes some practice, but not rocket science to get usable results. I'm by no means an expert. I've read on both sites above and learned a good deal. [/QUOTE]
