    Welcome aboard William and other new folks!

    I would suggest this book for Mike Venturino reading:

Bryan Pierce wrote a chapter on lead fouling which I found interesting and provided a better understanding of reasons for fouling in revolvers. There is also a chapter on the physical properties of lead and lead alloys. Also included is an updated burn rate chart for powders in the back of the book. A cross reference provides top punches matched to individual bullet molds which I found handy also.
    Great stuff to read!

So, any thing i can learn will be greatly appreciated. The whole lubing thing looks confusing, but i'm a way off from that yet. Still not sure about molds or sizing either. I'll keep reading.

    New Guy Here

    Hey Everyone,
    New to the site, however I am on Long Island Firearms and AR15.com with the same user name.

    I have been reloading for a few years now and really enjoy it. I am looking to start casting my own "boolits" (more books - more equipment - investment) however it does look like a lot of satisfaction.

    I'll be reading the FAQs and punching in and out. Looking to start for the ol' Dirty Thirty then 9mm.

    Stay Safe and God Bless.

    Good afternoon, y'all! Another rookie here. I'm wanting to get into casting, and am going to do my first smelt when the weather improves.
