Thanks for the help! I guess I'll head that way Saturday morning then.

Has anyone had any luck finding reloading components at Rk shows? I've heard about Dave and his guys having great prices. Does anyone know if he would be at the show in Knoxvile this weekend? I'm trying to find out if the savings at the show would be worth the entrance fee. Otherwise I'll have to head over to Bass Pro or cough up hazmat fees. Neither is a great option with saving money in mind. Thanks all.

Bullet casting with minimal space

That post by Dolomite was definitely a huge help. Will definitely be using that method for powder coating. -

primarily I want to cast and powder coat for my .308. At some point I also want to do 45 acp and 38 sp. Maybe even some 12 ga slugs -

Well I get the scrap for free so it's hard to beat. If I can't get the process down I may have to switch to buying it but for now I've really got my teeth set into trying it. -

Thanks for all the input y'all. I'm using outdoor range scrap and am definitely going to be taking plenty of precautions. I'll definitely be setting up outdoors or at least in an open garage with a fan. I would buy my lead or already cast boolits but I'm on a pretty tight budget. and this is a really interesting idea. May have to try that if I can't find a good site otherwise. -
So I've decided to get into bullet casting/powder coating primarily using range scrap lead. I've got access to plenty of scrap but no place to melt it down and then cast. I'm living in an apartment with some pretty strict policies and I'm sure they'd be none too happy to see smoke billowing off of my balcony. Any suggestions for places to set up as well as portable/inexpensive equipment? Also any tips for casting in general would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Ben

Hello all. I'm going to assume I'm one of the younger members of the board considering I'm still a student at UT in Knoxville. I'll shoot anything I can get my hands on. I love to tinker (despite limited space and funds) and just started picking up some reloading equipment. Looking forward to learning from y'all's experience.
