From Ingot to Target: A Cast Bullet Guide for Handgunners

[Rick]

An outstanding book that applies to rifle casting as well. Nearly as much valid info for the "Old Salts" of bullet casting as it is for the beginner. Available for free download in pdf or html format. Forward by John Taffin.

Thanks Rick. That is one of the most valuable resources around. Well, that and your entire website. Lots of good stuff there.

Ricks site is a treasure trove for casters, and especially for anybody who likes Glen Fryxells writing.

Good stuff. I have it in spiral bound version compliments of my friend and neighbor.

I should have thought of that.

I am ashamed to say I've never had a chance to read the book. Thanks for the link.

This is "the" book about bullet casting for handguns.

Glen is on this site and will make a great contribution. He is kind of busy now with a move from the Pacific NW to Georgia. He about to discover the joys of the Kudzu vine.

Most excellent reference!

I have read most of the articles as well as the Fryxell book from off that site since I discovered it a few years ago. It is a great repository of knowledge. The great thing is that most are PDFs so you can save them down to your computer and amass a pretty good e-Library of cast boolit literature & data. My e-library is constantly growing!

When I first "discovered" this book, I downloaded it to a flash drive, then took it to Office Depot, had them print it and punch it, and put it in a thin 3-ring binder. I refer to it often, recommend it to others even more often.
Thanks, Glen.

I double sided printed it at home & took it to Kinko's, they punched it for spiral bound and including a hard clear plastic front cover (so you can see the cover of the book) and a black hard plastic rear cover it cost me something like $8. Way worth it, made it a really nice coffee table book.

Maybe we could all get copies autographed......

So, I guess I owe you, at least $8.

I've read the book a couple of times. Love the section on leading a gun and how not to and of course chapter 4 Fluxing.

Another caster who really appreciate's Mr. Fryxell's efforts in that book. I used to work
for the same folks he did, in and entirely different part of the country and business, had
hoped to wrangle a business trip to his site and buy him dinner....... never happened, unfortunately.

Site is up, but my security will not let me go there. They may have not paid for the security update.
