Yep, turkey fryer's are the thing to use. They get plenty hot and, starting cold, I'm fluxing the molten liquid in less than 15 minutes.

I bulge bust all the 40s I find. Of the 1000 or so I've sent through the buster I've only had one occasion to break out the tools to remove crumpled brass. I do not use any lube.

Hit a gun show this weekend and there seemed to be plenty of 22lr ammo available. The cheapest I saw was 13¢ a round so still a tad expensive. That may be the new norm though...

Good thread! I tend to enjoy casting/reloading more than shooting so I have plenty of components to keep me busy for a least a year without making additional purchases. As far as all the reloaded...
Wow some of you guys have lots of molds! I thought I was doing pretty well with a dozen but yikes... I have 2 Lyman molds and ten Lee molds. Pros and cons for each.
