Total newbie here, know nothing about casting but would like to get my feet wet.
I assume that there are both quality, and crap molds and tools out there for casting as with any other hobby.
Can you guys suggest some good brand for molds in 9/40/45 and buckshot? Can high power rifle rounds like 556/308 be cast or do those always need to be jacketed?(cant ever recall seeing cast rifle bullets except for old cowboy guns)
What makes a good quality mold stand out from a crap one?
I'd rather pay a little more and invest in quality tools that will last me a lifetime than get some cheap stuff that will work but maybe not last or produce good quality bullets.
Any other general advice for a newbie welcome
