lone ranger: Bullet casting is actually quite easy. Its all about repeatability. The key to good results is to get into...then maintain a consistent rhythm throughout each step of the casting sequence. In many ways, it is just like reloading ammo. Once you've got mold temp and rhythm established, you can really crank out good quality bullets in a short period of time.
That is another reason why I like Lee molds. Made of aluminum...they heat up quickly and cast good bullets usually within the first few tries. I found that if you pre-heat them a bit first....much like you would with an iron or brass mold...Lee molds will start dropping good bullets almost right away.
There are likely all sorts of good videos on youtube, that explain the process, in detail. It won't take you long to master it. You don't need any elaborate equipment, either. Many bullet casters(including myself) get along very well, with a simple cast iron pot on a Coleman stove.
There is a real sense of accomplishment to casting your own bullets, too. Especially when you make that Dave Tutt shot with one created by you!
