FWIW, I *just* started casting, and have only reloaded about 2000 rounds of 9mm so far.
I'll tell you this, casting is relaxing, addictive (more than reloading), and very time consuming. Don't start casting if you want to be quick about anything. It takes quite a while to get the wheelweights, sort out the zinc and steel, melt them down, spoon off the dross and junk, flux and pour into ingots. THEN you can either melt those down to ladle into a mold, or get one of those nifty Lee bottom pour furnaces.
After that, they need to be lubed somehow. Either use the Lee Alox stuff and set the bullets overnight, or get a press/sizer.
Once that's accomplished, it's time to get reloading...a whole other process.
