Very interesting, but there is something to be gained by study and application of the methods and ideas presented here.
Certainly worth a second look as well as trying on these ideas thru experimentation before time runs out.
Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to get there these days.
Speed is of the essence.
I believe it will make their arrival all the more spectacular! Indeed.

When I started with cast bullets 30 years ago, all I had was Lyman books to go by. No cast boolit forum. I loaded Lyman 358495 full button wadcutters to full velocity, cast with #2 alloy. Yes I know, unnecessary waste of tin, excess hardness, etc. Beeswax /alox lube. Sized to 356 for a 3555 slugged bore, S&W model 14 38 special.
Probably shot 1000+ of those without the slightest sign of leading.
Good lube, sized properly, no leading, even with way-too-hard alloy.
Even then, some guys told me the lead had dirt/grit in it, and would eventually wear the bore.
Self taught with only Lyman manuals, guys, just do the basics, and all will be well.

Read, shoot, read, cast, read, shoot, read some more.
There is much knowledge to be gained by reading and applying to casting and shooting what the book says.
