ad-closed Lead casting setup

[ballz71]

Looking for a lead casting set up. Lead, lead melting pot, molds

[Patton]

What caliber molds you needing?

[xsubsailor]

I've probably got a few duplicate/no longer used molds. 

You didn't mention if you had any experience casting.

[ballz71]

No experience. I would be looking for 145 ish grain 9mm molds and 230 gr 45 mold. No experience. Looking for the pot to. 

[xsubsailor]

I have never seen a 9mm mold that big. 124-125gr. is about the heaviest I've seen. That does't mean that there isn't one out there.

The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook 3rd edition is almost a must read for someone new to the hobby. The 4th edition has good loading data but not very much "how to" information. The 3rd ed. has become the Holy Grail" and is extremely hard to find. A raggedy used one on ebay would start at around $50.  I got a new printing of it through a place called cornellpubs (they are on ebay too) for a little over $30.

 If you want a quick look, this is a link to a pdf file of the book. Over 400 pages.
