I am just an old caster type, as is Paul. Been casting and rolling my own since 1965. I cast for handguns, centerfire rifles and muzzle loaders. My problem around here has been finding lynotype, only embossing printers are using it anymore and it is hard to find or expensive.

I have shot cast only in long range competition since 1986.

I cast outside in the garage with two fans blowing and at 100 degrees it is a chore, but at 60-70 degrees it is plesant work. So I use a 100 pound production pot in the yard with a big propane burner to produce alloy once a year. The alloy is cast up in muffin tins. I then use an RCBS Pro Melt and at least 4 moulds to cast.

The list of moulds is way to long for here, but I do cast from .224 to .458 in centerfire and .36 to .600 for muzzle loaders.
