Glad to hear that thing is shooting good. Nope...it's on me...you don't owe me nothing. Far as getting started. Years past I cast many of them with a regular ole kitchen pot to melt the lead in on top of a Coleman stove. Used an old soup ladle to pour. Judged the temp by the color of the melt on top. Got me by. Got to casting other bullets so had to invest in more gear...a thermostat, electric pots and what have you. Used a little Lee bottom pour pot for several years. Works fine and dandy for those roundballs. Those pots have a tendency to drip though and you'll need something under it. Eventually went back to ladle casting. Use a Waage pot these days...holds 25lbs. of lead and keeps her up to temp. Here's a link to where I buy my blackpowder and percussion caps...they also carry the Lee moulds and that little Lee 10lb. electric bottom pour pot and other casting supplies.
