Buying boolits is gonna get real old, real fast. Put your money ($20 for a 2 cavity Lee tumble lube design to get started) into a mould to get going. An old Coleman stove and small casting pot (used and on the cheap if you don't have them) will get you going. As you learn the ropes and have a buck or two since you won't be buying boolits, you can expand if you enjoy casting. My first mould was a Lee single cavity (SC) over thirty years ago, and I still cast with it ocassionally. My best moulds are not Lee's, they're more expensive, but in the last several years I have grown fond of some of the Lee 6-cavity pistol moulds - a small mountain of decent boolits in just a short while. I can load any of my pistol rounds for less than a three dollars a hunert with bulk bought primers and surplus powder (my lead source is free). Kinda makes it worthwhile. sundog

btw, don't forget safety glasses -- ALWAYS.
