ging125 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Looking to get into lead bullet casting and want to see if i get into it so don't want to spend a fortune. Looking for anything to get me started, I have the standard reloading press etc for normal reloading so just cast bullet specific bits. Lee ladel melting pot electric or cast iron lee universal neck expander, lee mold c312-155-2r or lyman 311332 or the NOE k31 mold lee 309 sizer lube kit lyman lubeomatic or some sort of lubing/sizing press or any other suggestions lyman cast bullet hand book or equivalent anything else i may have missed? cheers c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moor man Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 You don't need a lot really, gas stove camping is ok (but needs to be stable) muffin tin for making lead ingots from range scrap etc., Diy ladle from serving spoon, wet towel to drop hot bullet on, bit of wood to knock sprue plate,bit like reloading really the list can grow If you get into it you may need sizing die, (just ordered one for my marlin .357mag, actual bore size is .356 so got the .358 die coming)lube, gas checks,etc..... Castboolits forum is an excellent resource, loads of help and advice available. Final note; be very careful....molten lead is very hot!Loads to learn so do plenty of reading/internet search etc, pm me if you need more info,cheers, M.M.
