Skip the 6 banger, get a two hole mold. It'll be a lot less complicated when warming up and cutting the sprues. Once you get comfortable with casting, by all means pick up a 6 hole.
The Lee Production Pot IV has worked great for me, and doesn't cost a lot of $$$. Highly recommended.
Please...be careful with water. Just one bit of moisture on a range scrap bullet tossed into melted lead will splatter everywere...otherwise known as the Tinsel Fairy. Wear welders gloves, eye protection and long sleeves/pants. Trust me on this, I've had a visit.
One more thing, it's absolutely imperative to warm up your mold first. Once you have a good pool of molten lead going, dip the mold into it for about a minute, making sure not to get any in the mold itself. Just the very bottom is fine.
