It is actually "Castboolits", it took me a couple of times to get it right also. They are a little touchy about it over there, just kidding. Tom.

Corey, start saving the aluminum pans that come with store-bought pies or pot pies. Anything of aluminum that is worthy of catching a bit of lead. You will find out later just how handy they are.

You need to find
-either a cast iron or cast aluminum (thick) pot to melt in
- a heat source
- a nice chuck of clean wood dowel or stick(or several) to stir your melt
- sawdust for fluxing, cedar should work
- something to use as a ladle for the pouring
- make a drop box and fill with something to cushion the fall of the bullets from the mold, can be a cardboard box and old towels or rags
- something like an old hammer handle would be great for tapping the sprue cutter (never directly tap the mold body)
- a pair of needle nose pliers is often useful to have nearby
-a lube and method of application (pan lubing is easy but takes longer due to cleanup of bullets), lots of recipes for simple lube around
- boxes to store you bullets

Corey,
Underclocked mentioned Lubes and methods.
Here's a link to a discussion we had just about a year ago.
Valuable info here. I've printed out a lot of it and it's in a notebook on my reloading bench.
