What are some of the books I need to get to get up to speed on casting?
I was offered a set up and bought it because I think it would be fun to do my own bullet casting. I have no expierence at all in doing this, but until four years ago I had never loaded any ammo and now I load all my ammo. The set up consist of the following items and if I need anything else I will be asking for help.
1. 10# electric furnace with thermostat, bottom pour valvesystem with mould guideand ingot mould and dipper Lymon brand.
2. Lymon # 450 bullet sizer -lubricator and 11 2 cavity moulds and 8 single cavity moulds in th fowling cal 357,44,45,30,25,22,50,and a round ball mould. The deal also has sizing dies and top punches for all moulds, two Lymon single cavity handles and two double cavity handles, also several thousand gas cks for 22,25,30,38,41,and 44 cal. A lot of Alox,RCBS, Lymon, bullet lube and GAR casting flux. I also get close to 500# of bullet lead in 1# ingots. I got all of this for $450 and will need your expertiese in getting to know how to use the equipment.
Thank you for your help in advance, any sugested books will be apriciated.
