I've never used the tumble lube type, but if you want to get into casting cheap, go with a Lee 2 cavity tumble lube mold and Lee sizing die. The Lee sizing die comes with lube. Dip the bullet in the lube, size it, let it dry overnight and your ready to load it.

You can buy lead on ebay and I suppose there are other sites. I have a stockpile of wheel weights and lead pipe. Its not a law, but the EPA scumbags have bullied everyone into thinking that they cant sell you wheel weights anymore.

I use cast bullets for 95+% of my shooting. If its a caliber I own, I have a couple molds for it. I love being self sufficiant. Theres no better feeling then hunting with a bullet you made and it performs every bit as good as the most expensive jacketed bullet on the market.

You really need to go to the castboolits.gunloads website. Best info on the planet.
