Casting is fairly easy once you get going, if you do it the same every time it is the same every time. If you stick with the same mix it will be the same every time. Problem is their will be an upfront start up cost for equipment and lead is getting harder to find. It is a giant rabbit hole, their is always something you can do different and improve. Once you add up the cost of the pot, molds, ingot molds, lube, and stuff you could buy a few thousand cast bullets for that price, so it depends on how much you shoot if it will be economical. I was shooting about 200rds of 44 mag a week when I started casting so it didn't take to long to break even, but I have a few sources for free lead. If your stuck paying $2 a pound for lead it doesn't make sense. I would go to like titanreloading.com and start pricing equipment, and see if you can find a supply of lead before you tin to it.
