    I cast 1,000 Lyman #311041 for my 30-30 this week. Just sat in the shop for 5 days, taking it easy, and cast 200 each day. This is a great hobby for retirees!!!

    I'm 71, and yeah, it can get to the athritis in my thumb at times. But I cast often, and not too many at a time, so it isn't too bad.

    I've air cooled mine for years now. Works fine. Just don't overdo the heat. You don't want it to be glowing bright red. And a room with subdued light makes it easier to see what you are doing.

    When you put the wooden stick in the melt do it slowly in case it has absorbed any dampness. That way it wont spit at you. And I like cedar saw dust or chips because they smell better.

    I don't bother smoking any of my molds anymore. If the bullet doesn't release easily I just find the burr and remove it.
