Since I posted previously and everyone was so helpfulness, wanted to share my beginning. Well, finally gathered the budget basics to give this a try. Picked up a 10lb pot, a bunch of cast ingots, ingot mold, and a ladel, all for $40. Oh yea, there was also a Lyman bullet mold and a set of .44 special dies as a bonus! So I set up my Coleman camp stove and proceeded to melt 4 ingots. Added a splash of borax to flux and clean, stole a round soup spoon from the kitchen.... No thermometer yet, so just winging it there. Placed the mold over the pot for about 5 or 10 mins to heat it up. Proceeded to start casting. Then applied powder coat and baked them. The mold is a Lee TL314-90. I have several questions that I hope I can get answers to, and will follow up with those, but here are my initial results and look forward to any comments good or bad!
