Anyone know of a good casting 101 video to get me learning about this hobby. I`ve got some reading stuff but would like to see it done first hand. I`ll be casting mainly for 45colt and 44special. I`m thinking about the Lyman molds but i`m really not sure yet. They seem to be the ones most favored.

Burch :Fire:


I got one and many thanks

Here's a link with several online videos that may help.

And yes, RCBS does have a VHS tape that can be purchased for about 20 bucks. Try Graf & Sons, Midway etc..

Try and find a local reloader/caster friend. Ask around your favorite guns shops for people that cast. Search for a local gun club.

Welcome to the Forum sir.

Just to let ya`ll know. My RCBS casting video came today. I just finished watching it and it SUCKS!!!!!!!!! Very little infomation for $20. Nothing indepth at all just the general safety info and a slight bit of casting and sizing. The free videos from expertvillage are by far more informative.

Video? You need to learn by watching someone in person.

I learned everything I know about Casting, sparrow farming and sheep breaking from Carpetman. A video just will not do.
