Who here is actively casting?

I have once again had the brilliant idea to try casting and have started looking at equipment, Furnaces, pots, molds, dippers.

One bullet mold I am very much interested in is the Lee 356-102-1R to be used in my 380 loadings. So then I have to ask, if anyone is casting these would you be willing to part with a few that I could try before spending the money on a mold?

i started powder coating to utillize soft lead . a friend gave me a 150lb sheet of lead that came from under a
bathroom shower . thought if i can coat this stuff i can shoot it . i usually tumble them in a little lee liquid alox also.
not as pretty as commercial stuff

I guess I've been watching too many Police Story episodes on YouTube. That looks like quite a drug bust there!
