Hello from the Florida Panhandle. I've been shooting and reloading cast bullets in several calibers for 20+ years and have wanted to get into casting for a long time. The equipment and supplies have been accumulating and lots of info scoped out, but nothing dipped yet. Heck, I even have ~100#s of type slug left from when I was trading it to a fellow shooter for cast bullets years ago. And those are really good bullets; if I could only do so well.
But I digress. My primary calibers will be .357 mag/Max, 40 S&W, 444 Marlin, and hopefully, the .375 JDJ(Don't have that TC barrel!). I'll just be browsing for a while and then get into it full bore. There will probably be lots of ?'s from me and maybe I'll be able to answer some for you.
Thanks for having me and I look forward to the sharing. Tom.

Welcome to the site. There are lots of good manuals on Bullet Casting, Lyman 3rd edition Cast Bullet Handbook being among them. A wealth of information can be had from some of the older books. Making good lead bullets isn't as hard as it looks, just takes a little patience.
There are a great bunch of guys here, you'll love it.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm pretty well set up with some of the reference materials, but I'll be picking some brains for sure.
And, by the way, if you have any spare TC barrels that are cluttering things up, be sure to let me know.
Tom.

Sorry, I shoot all mine. Have found some lately over at Graybeard Outdoors though.
