ATTN: Bullet Casters!

IllinoisCoyoteHunter · March 14, 2009, 09:36 PM

Bullet casters: I am asking for your help in creating a thread that contains all aspects of casting from manuals/books to equipment to acquiring lead to safety to smelting to casting/techniques to lubing/sizing. This forum is in dire need of a "Casting Sticky" for newbies and maybe we can get some more people interested in the art of bullet casting. To make it easier, I am asking for volunteers to pick an aspect of casting and do a write up on it. Then, PM it to me and I will put them all together and post it in one thread (of course citing all my sources...

). If you have no desire to partake, that is ok too. Thanks TFL members and I hope to hear from you soon!!

I am a member there, but wanted to make this forum a little more comprehensive and versatile.

I wouldn't do it. Lead is just too dangerous to mess with.
