Pintos gun shop in Renton has quite a few used molds. They are in glass cabinet just left as you walk in the door.

Here is where you need to go to learn about casting:
https://castboolits.gunloads.com/forum.php Once you know what you want, you can start to source products and THE product. My advice- don't buy anything Lee. They are junk products and only lead to disappointment. And yes, I have been broke and still bought good quality casting gear. Lyman, RCBS, Accurate, NOE, all make great moulds. Research a bunch before buying. Good luck! _________________ "To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." - Thomas Jefferson |

My lee pot has been going strong for over 5 years and I got it used. My lee molds have also been fine. I have cast thousands of bullets with them with very little issue. You do have to be careful to not scratch them and I will upgrade once I find the perfect bullet. I have a few lyman and NOE, they are surely built for life.

This book in the following link is free for you to use and/or print off at home. From Ingot to Target is a masterwork on casting, explaining the ins and outs of alloys, casting pots, lubes, etc. Reading this before buying stuff will save a lot of screwing around later on down the road....
