to excite me lately. I've been casting for sixty some odd years. I've always had a nice setup in the detached garage of my previous two houses. Downsizing, we moved to town and my space is limited and I had to scrap my really old gas hot plate I've used to melt hundreds of pounds of lead and dip cast thousands of bullets. I've got a pair of bottom pour electric pots but have found I get more consistent results with a dipper. My lovely bride got me a 20# electric pot for Christmas and tomorrow I'm setting it up in the basement loading room. Moulds are sorted and I go have a list of what I want to cast. After several years of health issues, both mine and hers, I'm excited to get back in it. Also to sort and pare down the seventy or so moulds I've accumulated and played with since around the late fifties. First up, maxis, minies, and slugs from soft lead, then rifle and handgun.
