so i'm going to start ordering all of my supplies.
i have an MP 454-200 cramer on the way.
i need to decide wether to ladle cast or bottom pour.
i don't have a huge budget to play with so my options are limited. Should i go with the star sizer and lee bottom pour? or should i just buy the lyman casting kit with the ladle furnace and lube sizer?
looking around, and discussing this with some guys in the chat room i've read that some people just use a big cast-iron pot and ladle cast over their turkey fryer burner. that would free up some money to spend on other tools like a heater
there are so many options.
can you point out some pros and cons for me?
in a good year when i have time i shoot about 5K bullets from my .45 and varying amounts from other guns. i'm sure given the lower costs of casting i would shoot a lot more! i'm sure that weighs in to the tool choice, though i'm still shooting a LOT less than the rest of you
