Chutestrate's continung casting education

[nanuk]

I remember awhile back asking a NOOB question about hardness vs toughness

I am a hunter first. I want a boolit to perform in that arena. paper punching is only to find a combo that will shoot good enough for hunting

I think it is all black magic

I sure learn a lot from these threads.

The way I see it, it's not black magic unless you want to approach it from a mystical perspective . Now boolit lube, that's magic stuff! Now my best friend is the IT director for a large advertising agency and he assures me that what goes on inside my computer isn't Black Magic either, and that it's all just science and perfectly logical if you understand how it all works, but I maintain that it's gotta be some kind of electron voodoo.

Yup.

I think I have spent well over $1k on my reference manuals on guns, bullets, casting etc.

I have all three lyman books. need to get #4
I have a couple P. Matthews books.
I've got a couple NRA books.

and of course I have you guys! one of the best resources!

all great stuff.

my hunting buddy and I are going to get into casting this spring and want to use cast exclusively for hunting this fall if we can get it good enough for hunting.

One other thing, I enjoy reading the forums, and I cut an paste lots of info, and bookmark specific threads that have tidbits of relevent info for me.

Some day, someone will post all this info in a book, and publish it, either electronically or on paper. It would go a long way to helping pay for this site!

I am humbled by the generosity of the posters here!
Wow!
