Hi everyone, I am very new to the casting world. I have only casted few bullets with a friend of mine and was instantly intrigued. I have done some research and do know that I want a bottom pouring pot. However, I dont know what is good and what isnt. I have seen alot that range from like $40 or $50 up to $200+. As of right now I am mainly wanting to cast for my hunting rifles but can easily see myself wanting to cast for pistol ammo at some point in my lifetime.
Is there a specific casting bottom pour pot that you would recommend?
Size? 5lbs, 10lbs???
Can I use muffin tins or will the lead stick? Do I need the moulds I keep reading about? Or what do u think about cast iron tins?
How can I make it easier for the lumps of lead to fall out of the mould?
Thanks for all replies!
