Etherwalker, I enjoy the enthusiasm you have and it reminds me of myself when I started casting.
Jumping in both feet. My only comment is to go slow,take your time,make GOOD NOTESwith your loads and your casts so you can duplicate successful work. Lots of learning curves here plus adding in powder coating etc..
I love casting a lot. It takes time,lubing,sizing etc, that time is taken away from my reloading and shooting.
Good suggestion ( forgot who said) you might want to get samples to find what your firearm likes and shoots reliably,accuratly. One caliber at a time.
Great info here, great guys and don't hesitate to ask questions.
Be safe enjoy and please make sure you use protection while casting. Burns are not fun.
Start with .45
