Start with a 2 cavity Lee mold. They are cheap, throw good bullets, and are much easier to use than an iron mold. Melt the wheelweights and clean them in a yardsale/resale shop dutch oven, pour them into ingots in a yardsale muffin pan. A ladle is cheap new, eye protection and good gloves are MANDATORY. I started with Lee Liquid Alox lube and it will save you the expense of a lubrisizer initially.
You should buy the Lyman casting book, it has great info and will get you started. You can get started for under $50, and then see if you like it.
I used to cast a lot, but time crunches have pretty much stopped my casting lately. If you can find the lead and have the time to cast it is a great way to shoot more.
