Hello all, [I] am new having just joined tonight. I have a long history of reloading but haven't cast bullets in a decade or so. I have gotten my old pot and moulds out recently and have decided I need a way to have boolits for a select number of guns in ready supply. I have a couple 44 mags, several leverguns and a couple savages and some milsurp stuff. I might also be able to lay my hands on 1 or 2 or 6 or 10 shotguns...maybe! I am also into classic mustangs. I am sure that I lwill learn much here as I found it to be very informative right from the getgo. Ok I am here TEACH ME. Thanks Tom

Welcome Tom,
I spent over 6 months reading the information here before I joined. I had been casting for nearly 30 years, and until I found this site I thought 1700 fps was a fast as you could push a cast boolit, and minute of paper plate was what I expected for accuracy. To me cast boolits were for nothing more than plinking and launching at coyotes as I run fence. This site opened up a new world for me, and I developed a new found respect for the accuracy and killing power of the cast boolit. I have gotten to the point were in many of my rifles I can shoot just as fast and more accurately with a cast boolit as I can with the copper clad ones.
Let me give you fair warning. If you hang out here too much like I did, you will end up wrapping paper patches around some of your castings, and you may even find yourself buying a few pounds of the Holy Black to play with. As I would master one game with one rifle, I would pick up another game for another rifle. It really does get to be habit forming.
Best wishes from the Boer Ranch,
Joe

Welcome aboard! This is the most real world experience-educated and polite location on the web.
If somebody here doesn't know the answer to your
questions (and maybe two or three different ones :-D ) I'll be very surpised.
Some real experts hang out here, I have learned a whole lot from them and
continue to find interesting new things on this site every day.
Bill
