Poor soul went and plugged in the pot. Hell, you done for and already addicted . That is some mighty fine looking stuff and the owner was no fool by far. I can see that by picture.
Next he will be "beagling" molds to fit his needs.. Now for the mold fuss - I have them from nearly all makers past and present - nothing wrong with any of them - they will last well past you if you do not abuse them. I do use the Lee molds for experimenting, they are cheap enough if I screw one up I still have the handles.. I have a few I have converted to HP some time back -- anymore its cheaper to buy them but thats the fun of this addiction - trying your own ideas before you giver up and spent money.
Next if you get in to deep you will be looking at hardness testers for your bullets -- I have the Lee thing - it works but after a fit I found one at a gunshow I like a lot better... Buffalo Arms sells it and its easier for me to use and get better results. ( I do have a cheat - daughter works where the hot shot engineers can double check my findings.) Like all things its what you grow to like and use and everyone has a preference and a few will explain their side of the tale to you - in great detail.
My only real suggestion is buy your own casting supplies - DO NOT take from the wifes kitchen... Most wives are mild mannered things - until you mess with THEIR pot and pans LOL... and if you get into powder coating hit the thrift store for your own toaster oven -- you will buy wife a new one if you dont, trust me on that one...
