Lymans Cast Bullet Handbook is another excellent source.

You found this site so have already found a great place to start looking for information. Do some searching around here and you will find all the info you need to get started casting. Spend a bit of time searching "basic casting" or "beginner wants to get started casting", Its all here and you will be surprised what else you will find. Hell you will even find stuff you didn't even know you didn't know. I just did a quick search for basic casting and found this. http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?185364-want-to-get-started-questions&highlight=basic+casting Spend some time here you will find everything you need.

Molten metal is not nearly as dangerous or as potentially dangerous as reloads are.

You are in luck! There just happens to be around 1,500,000 answers to this very question here! Plus another 300,000 off topic posts! ;-)

Step one:
Buy Lyman's Cast Bullet Handbook, 3rd or 4th edition (preferably both).

All the other steps will be explained in simple to understand English, with plenty of illustrations.

Until you know what you're doing, stay away from You Tube videos. There are many future Darwin Award winners, out there, who are seeking their few minutes of fleeting fame at the risk of being safe.
