Bullet Casting 101 on Handloader TV

[Mike44]

I watched this video on YouTube and found it to be very informative. I am not currently a bullet caster but may be one day. I thought some of the members of this forum might find it to be helpful.

It's easy when things go right. It's an exercise in futility for your first couple of sessions till your mold season and you get the mechanics of things. The most important thing is to start with a known good base... I learned on rmr lead and it works great... using scrap that mabe contaminated will literally drive you mad.

Once you get over 200,000 you really get the hang of it.

If you start, you might not be able to stop….kind of like eating a Pringle. It can become an addiction, I enjoy casting as much as shooting.

I'm usually not a fan of YouTube but that was done pretty well.

Jerimiah does some interesting videos but seeing that seriously abused hat of his makes my eyes hurt plus I am old enough to still remove my hat when inside. Small gripes I know but some things are ingrained with me. I know, the beat up hat is like scruffy or huge beards, tight t-shirts, tactical pants, etc. to make the host seem "outdoorsy" but it gets old. At least he doesn't ramble on and on during his presentations.

The video is very well done and no matter how much I think I know I always learn something new.

I've heard many times; "The only way to learn to cast bullets is to cast bullets"

I have used my Lyman 25 three times this week so far made about 1500 bullets. Went from casting for 8 to 10 hours in 1989 to hopefully getting one full pot done. Oh how times change.
