Nearly 3 years later another wannabe newb pipes in.
Been casting for about a year , .45acp, 7x57,.30,

Learnt to befriend all tyre shops in a 20 km radius, ,find the idea of mKing my own alloy and lube very Therapeutic.

Find the LASC notes and info the absolute cats whiskers. If you can't find it on castboolits.com, you won't need that info...
Made several dozen different lubes, settled on a couple of favorites
Had my CB tested out by some experienced casters and users, happy to report all is well
Now make my own GC
All in all, a very nice journey, initiated by Von Gruff.
I even convinced 2 other mates to start casting, one is into it big time, casts for everything ,latest is a 500 gr mould for his .45-70 Marlin and NEF single shot

I hope to try out CB in Victoria this year

Cheers
