After reading up on the requirements, I was left with this major question. Where are you going to source your alloys for casting? If you're one of the fortunate people who has a large local supply, I say you've overcome the biggest obstacle. If you plan on purchasing casting alloys from a commercial supplier; check on the prices and weigh the costs as well as the investment in time before you spend any money on equipment.
Best of luck whatever you decide.

Cheap or free alloy is the key to succesful casting imo. If i have to pay more than $1/# for alloy, i'm buying my practice bullets.
The time issue isnt a factor if you enjoy it as a hobby, as i do. If recycling scrap into useful bullets is satisfying, then its worth the time & my bullets are pretty much free.
