I casted my own today for the first time ever today!

158g SWC with my Lee 2-cavity mould, NIB Lee 20lb pot, and some WW ingots I bought off Armslist. I brought my lead to about 900, turned the pot down to 650*, fluxed it! then proceeded to pour the homliest, ugliest, deformed bullets you'll ever see. I got better after 10 pours or so, but my first thought is total respect for the temperature the lead was, what I was doing, etc. After I felt confident and them added thoughts if actually pouring better. They got better. A lot better. Then, I moved to my 4-cavity mould for .44 Mag. I was much better at this point. I'll show them to my father in ICU tomorrow, as they'll surely raise his spirits listening to my experience. It doesn't take much.

I appreciate the info I've learned on here from y'all.

Well....well.....well.
Now, you went and did!

A lot of guys start off like this............then they spend so much time and money doing this, that they loose their jobs. They end up on the streets........selling them selves for wheel weights!

You may end up joining one of those 12 step programs that they have for addicts!
