I still can't believe it, the wife and I were garage selling Sat., and it is true, a old dog gets a bone once in a while , I made a whale of a deal on a Master Caster Furnance. But I have been researching and I don't think I can use my cheap lee moulds And I can't afford to buy from Master Caster
They tell me that a person can mod most steel moulds, but I don't know.
If anyone can give me a heads up on this, I would be great full.
Thanks
Greg

Uhhh? I've heard the name, but can't place what a Master Caster Furnace looks like. Why can't you use any mold? I assume the lead has to come out somewhere somehow. Is it a clearance or reach problem or what? Sorry, I know I'm not helping you out but you've made me curious.

Well, you have found yourself a project. I am not a high volume caster so I know little of such equipment but you can go to where the no nonsense casters hang. Go to http://castboolits.gunloads.com/ and post your question. If they can't help you they will help you sell it. Lucky dog... great find. JB

Thanks Guys

You see I am 51 years old, type a person, got to bt doing something all the time, been reloading for 32 years, but now I have blown out lower back, so I can't stand long, so I thought instead of lying in bed all day I cast bullets untill my back got to killing me, and then go lay done.
Thanks a lt
Greg

is this a Furnance or a lead pot , if it's a lead pot you can use any kind of mould you want with it , if it is a casting Furnance its not used for drip mould, can post a pix of it

Try this website

I second the advise to visit the cast boolits website.
www.castboolits.gunloads.com
One heck of a find!
You'll need to look for magma moulds on Auction arms website also.
Basically they look like regular mould with out the sprue plates(I think).
I never reserached the topic so don't hold me to this.
