I started casting when I joined a pistol club and got serious about Bullseye competition. I was 18 and now I am 69. Casting is a great escape from reality and easy to get into the "zone" and forget about problems. Also saved a ton of money when I was shooting a 1000 rounds a week. .Now I cast for .44, 45ACP, 38 and .357, 9mm, a new "slugs R Us mold, and several black powder molds. I love the old Thompson Center Molds.
