[QUOTE="Roadking Larry, post: 3606603, member: 2833"] Casting and shooting lead boolits can be a very rewarding, and sometimes very frustrating, branch of the shooting sports hobby. There is a lot of good info to be had from the interwebz on casting boolits. Your clip on wheel weights will make fine boolits for most of your casual reloads and shooting. Mixing various alloys and using different lubes can get you in to a rabbit hole that goes as far as you care to go with it. Depending on the moulds you have you may also need a lubesizer but even grease groove bullets can be tumble lubed in alox or pan lubed with harder lubes. The Lyman Cast Bullet handbook is a very in-depth reference - [URL]https://www.brownells.com/reloading/books-amp-videos/books/reloading-books-amp-manuals/cast-bullet-handbook-4th-edition-prod38632.aspx[/URL] I've found this website to have the most good information anywhere to be found - [URL]https://castboolits.gunloads.com/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
