Thank you all. I'm not buying yet just researching. To put it into perspective I just celebrated 60 weeks of continuous chemo. My plan is to cast clean ingots this fall and then start casting bullets.
My original plan was to focus my learning curve by choosing a single rifle (no handguns), buy or alloy quality lead, acquire custom moulds, gas checking, and holding the velocity in a 1500-1700 range. My rifle choice is a real nice 1950s peep sighted Win 94 in 32 Special. The rifle was bought for its 16" twist. It seemed as good a setup for success as any. Now I'm adding plain base to the possible list.
