I called a friend that's a bullet caster told him I was planning on getting started in bullet casting and I ask him some question on what he recommended for equipment.
He shows up at my place and this is what he gave me, a Lee electric bottom pour pot, two cast iron pots, an ingot mold, a Lyman 450 sizer/lubricator with heating element, several tubes of Lyman Orange magic bullet lube, a couple of bottles Lee liquid Alox, and several sizing dies with top punches.
He said here this is yours give them a good home.
I tried to pay him for the equipment but he would not have any of that.
I ordered a couple of Lee bullet molds, both 45 caliber one is a 252 gr SWC the other is a 300 gr large LFP gas check mold.
I cast my first bullets a couple of days ago, cast about 600 252 SWC bullets, sized them this morning.
I had about 20 bullets I've culled to be smelted and cast again at a latter date.
I feel I still have a lot to learn but I sure had a good time.
The bullets average in weight 255.1 grs, I smelted range scrap into ingots to use for these.
Most of the scrap started life as 200 gr RNFP bullets I practice with but they have been reborn into 255 SWC bullets.
