I am just getting started in casting bullets. I am still in the process of collecting whatever scrap lead I can get my hands on. I have smelted and cast ingots out of about 35 pounds of wheel wieghts and about 15 pounds of lead pipe and stick on wheel wieghts. I have learned alot just reading posts on this forum, so I thought I would ask a couple of questions. I am wanting to start with casting for my 1911 in 45 ACP. Is the LEE tumble lube .452 mold a good place to start? I thought I could order the mold and the Lee sizing die at the same time, save shipping, and be ready to go since Lee includes Alox with the sizing die. Also, can I mix the pure lead in with the wheel weights and be okay at 45 ACP velocities and pressures, and if so what do you recommend percentage wise? Any advice or pointers will be greatly appreciated. My wife doesn't think that I need another hobby, but I think this is going to be fun. Thanks
