Default How much work to start casting?

How hard is it to start casting your own bullets? And I guess more importantly how expensive is it to get all the equipment to start casting and what will I need?

I have been reading some articles online about alloys and its seems a little complicated, with the different combinations of lead, tin, and antimony.

Where would one go to get ingots of wheel weights which seem to be a general base line for a semi-ideal alloy of lead?
