Basic Casting Manual

Post by Uncle Fester »

I have decided to try my hand a bullet casting. Is there a good manual with step by step instructions.

Thats the one!! Dont be afraid of older versions either as the components change and having older manuals cannbe useful.

Yup, forget the manual. Get a melter, some alloys and mould. Heat the mould up to ~ 400F before casting and make sure sprue plate is hot enough. Then practice. Ask questions on any bullet casting site for fine details. You are NOT baking a cake - most any method will work. If you are looking for cast load data, just use low side jacketed data.

It's free. It's much more in-depth on several subjects.

I'd highly recommend that ALL new casters read it.

I'd 2nd this....
I printed this out and made my own bound book.

A close second is the Lyman book.

If you order one of their casting kits, a printed copy of it is included.
