Awesome book, indeed. Metallurgy gets a bit tedious but it helps explain some of the "casting voodoo" that can be hard to understand.

Great book. I learned a lot about lead and mold temp that explaines why I always have trouble with my bullets. Casting is not easy.

I have been to that site as it's been linked by others. There is an extreme wealth of information there.
Great thread here.
