Thanks to the information and tips from this forum, my first casting session was a success. Only 2 out of 60 bullets went back into pot.

Plan to put some of them, down range tomorrow.
Have no doubt, will b a sucess

Now that you are hooked plan a monthly budget to feed your addiction. What you budget for you will likely double it if you have the resources. :bigsmyl2:

Be forewarned, the more you cast, the larger the addiction grows. Pay attention, so you can avoid the tinsel fairy.

Cast load test shoot repeat. I started something new this year any night the Bruins play the "casting shop" is open. I've had a pile of fun and been able to help several young fellows learn the ropes. I wish you all the best and hope you become as addicted as the rest of us have!

It's a pretty good feeling eh 45 scott? I just did a first casting lastnight and enjoyed it very much. I think the icing on the cake was a pile of boolits sitting in front of you knowing you produced them ;-)

Range session went great, found that 8.0 gr of unique was a comfortable load to shoot and didnt have any problems. And to be honest, it was a "hoot"! I'm addicted.....oh well
