JWC is right

but i don't recommend all that for the introduction, Try this,
a Lee 45 mold, around $20 (shouldn't need a sizer)

a bottle of Lee liquiod Alox $2.50

a cast iron pan, on a hotplate or stove, normally you have something that will work, I recommend a bottom pour lee production pot, these will not get hot enough to put as much stuff in the air as Zot is talking about, Hot lead can vaporize and become airborne, typically your lead pots will not allow them to get this hot, a stove or hotplate deffinately will. $0-40 dollars

Gloves are optional, i burn myself all the time but don't wear em,

Eye protection is not optional

you can see if you like it for under 50 bucks, if you don't like it just cast 60 dollars worth of bullets, and sell it all, you will be money ahead, if you do like it, man can you ever spend some money
