And Lee products in general.For the average shooter they're all you need. Plus the added benefit of being economical.I started casting to stretch my shooting $'s.Every buck you save helps you shoot more.I've owned all the brands and I've just about got to the point where the Lee is all I use.I'm not trying to do any super precision shooting.They turn out a very decent bullet, certainly not the finest out there but decent.Don't worry to much about the upfront cost. If you go cheap at first you won't need to invest a lot of money. After trying it, you decide it's something you like then whatever cost you incur will be paid off in fairly short order in savings over store bought.Keep an eye open for surplus lead laying around and pick it up whem you find a bargin. Most of the mom and pop tire stores will sell you wheel wieghts for what the scrap yard pays. Just be sure they are all lead. We're starting to see steel and zinc ww's these days.One place that goes overlooked is the local salvage yard. They usually have a bucket or two of ww's. And like I found sometimes have scrap lead laying around.Wheel wieghts make a nice pistol round just as they are. When you want to start cranking them up to magnum speeds you'll need to harden them up some. But that's another story.Enjoy!</blockquote>
