I am completly green to casting my own bullets and have a couple of questions for you seasoned vets. I am wanting to cast for my 45acp 1911 and have always shot 230gr fmj round nose out of it. I am only going to be punching paper with the rounds i cast and am doing it more for the enjoyment than anything. I am having trouble deciding what brand and what mold to get. I have noticed that most molds have a model number with them...can anybody point me in the right direction? I am going to be using wheel weights and i currently don't have a sizer.Is this something I need to acquire also?
