[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 1535246, member: 23"] Lee Precision and Lyman make a lot of casting products. The Lee is the cheapest and you can buy directly from their website. Their molds are made from aluminum. Lyman makes their molds from steel. You'll need a casting pot. That alone can cost you $100.00. Bullet molds for whatever bullet you're going to make. I'm guessing a 9mm mold from what you've told me so far. I recommend the Lee 6 cavity mold. It can save lots of time making 6 bullets with every pour. I would also suggest you consult a few reloading manuals and pick a bullet weight that you can use for a variety of powder/bullet loads. 115 grain and 124 grain seem to be the most popular. For suppressed or subsonic loads, 147 grain bullets seems to be the favorite although there are not many loads for it. A decent sized melting pot will hold about 20-25lbs of molten lead. [/QUOTE]
