    Hope he likes you marring his daughter. Lol
    You will need a mentor to help you along the way. Lol again.
    This hobby is as easy or difficult as you want to make it. I started out casting 44 cal bullets at the age of fifteen. My start 38 years ago was an adventure. I have several scars and still no immediate friends that I can discuss casting related issues with. So this is a good place for me to learn things and make friends along the wy.
    What calibers are you starting out with.

    I wish I had a mentor when I first started reloading and later when casting boolits, it would have saved me a lot of money. I thank many members here for helping me along this journey, what a lot of fun and the members here are second to none.

    I'm sure I'll save money someday casting and reloading my own.

    JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.

    Welcome aboard I second Kylongrifle32. I started in the 60's. Got a tibbit here and there, books etc. But this sight you will get many answer to the same questions, or many perspectives within a day or two. Very valuable I think.

    Your right Slim, I'm lucky and I probably dont realize "how" lucky I am. He's taught me about guns, competing in Steel Challenge, Reloading and now Casting. Damn, I need to go give him a hug Hahaha
