Ive been thinking of getting into casting. I don't reload huge amounts of ammo at the moment, and usually a box of 500 cast lead works just fine for me. I like the idea of making the bullets myself, just because I can and it add's to the satisfaction of having made it with my own hands. This will be for relevantly small volume casting at the current time.
My question to all of you is, what furnace do you use to melt your lead, and do you prefer to use a melter with a pour spout or do you use a ladle? Also, where do you get your lead? Purchased, scrap, wheel weights?
