And they might find lots of fellow casters and a trove of experience at
http://castboolits.gunloads.com/ A word of caution, I should note that as a caster for over 50 years the initial investment can be steep and you have to cast (and shoot) quite a bit to make it cheaper than 'store bought'. I love casting and love teaching others how to do it well to get accurate slugs, just dropping some melted lead into a new mold will disappoint the novice as they will probably have poor performance. Doing it right is easy but learn the procedures that work before you melt lead. Example: clean molds are vital for properly filled out bullets!
I cast probably 400 or more of something every month (.25, .308, .357, .457) for my big bores and have over 40 molds, several melting pots, presses n sizer dies and several hundred pounds of different alloys which have to be replaced too, haha
A Lyman 'Big Dipper" melting pot n tools kit is cheap and Lee Precision makes inexpensive molds for starting (they have a cheap pot too).
I have had good molds from NOE and Accurate recently but the RCBS and Lyman molds are good too. Other manufacturers are out there like: Arsenal, MP, Hoch, SAECO, Buffalo, etc (handles are almost always bought separately!)
