I have decided to cast my own handgun bullets. I have melted some wheel weights in an old cast iron pot I had on a turkey cooker, fluxed it, and poured it into a small bread pan, I guess that is what u call it, and I have brick sized ingots. I want to cast for 380 acp, 9mm, 45 acp and possibly 40 s+w. I would like to know what equipment I need next, I have decided on Lee brand due to cost. I have looked in forum for advantage of a bottom pour pot, is there any other than ease of operation? Also someone has told me the 2 cavity molds work better than the 6, please give some input? Do I need to size these bullets,if so to what size, and will these bullets lead my bore? Will I need gas checks or could I just load some jacked bullets to clean or use a filler such as grits? I am going to be using these for plinking so there is alot of le-way for mistakes. I am doing this so I can afford to shoot more with my kids, any help would greatly be appreciated along with some hands on help if anyone lives near me, I am in the middle Georgia area.
Thanks
