Compliments

I never failed to be amazed by the depth of knowledge the shooters on this site display.

Some of the most esoteric and obscure questions are answered in the most direct and complete fashion I have ever seen.

I am overwhelmed by the amount of original, exact and complete information that is available to the shooting fraternity.

I can only thank the members, and of course the site itself for being so helpful to everyone.

GOOD WORK EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

I for one agree!!!!! I live in N Ireland and have been shooting for years and don't know anybody else that casts, hence I don't know a big lot about it. Since coming here I have learned so much, and have found people to be very helpful, and willing to put themselves out to do you a good turn, 45nut and 44Woody to name a couple.

Thanks

Ian,

Just a simple question.

How did you learn, and get started casting if you know no one who casts.

I learned at the foot of my mentor, who did many things in an unorthodox fashion, but he cast wonderful bullets and tought me his methods.

Did you learn only by reading and through trial and error?

I have only recently got the equipment to cast. I got a burner and a pot, but will eventually get a furnace. I am very much a novice and most of what I have learned was by reading and reading and reading on this forum. There is a wealth of knowledge here that you wouldnt get by just reading a book. It would be nice to have someone show me the ropes, but I know that if I have a problem or something I'm not quite sure on, all I have to do is ask some of the fine fellows here. No doubt I will have a lot of rejects before I get it just right!!!!.

Sounds like you guys need to get together for a casting party in N Ireland.

Ian,
Jump in there and get your feet wet! No better way to learn this Boolit casting, than by the "Hands On Method".

Keep us posted.

Have fun Shooting,
Jon

I never had anyone to work with on bullet casting. I learned it all from reading books and writers like Dean Grennell and Harris and Keith many years ago. On the job training was my teacher. I have learned a great deal from this board in just a few years.

Had the occassion to request some info, and instructions from the webmaster.
I am even more impressed with this web site, than before. Fast, efficient and thoroghly reliable---what customer service.

EVERY BUSINESS SHOULD BE RUN THIS WELL.

I for one have made my first donation to this site (to help offset some of the expenses), and it won't be my last.

I would urge everyone to participate, as a means of paying back for all the help found here.

Ian,
Just a thought, if you'd be interested in some unsolicited advice. Under Casting Equipt on this site see bulk melting setup page two. I listed a pic of my original setup which I have used for many years, and I find it works great.
Inexpensive home made unit, at a good height to use a chair or stool.
With this set up I could sit down , cast, and drop bullets into a drop box on a stand next to the barrel with minimal work. All I have to due is shift from the lead pot to the bullet box on my chair.
