What mold did you get today?

[Divil]

In the past 6 monts I have been gradually acquiring .45 and .44 molds.

First a New old stock Lyman 452374

Then a Saeco #420.

[Divil]

Then I propsed a slight design modification to the Accurate 45-195T. Tom was kind enough to accept the modification and the 45-185O ( the O for my son Owen, hopefully a future shooter and bullet caster but right now he is just a precocious 4 year old) was born. I now have an iron 3 cavity 45-185O awaiting its first casting session.

Then Christmas came along and Wifey bought me a Lee six cavity 45-230 TC.

[Divil]

Finally a two cavity Lee TL452-230-2R and a

RCBS 45-230-CM

Have joined the collection.

I got a new to me, 2 cavity Ideal 3118 yesterday. Today on my lunch break I cast up 63 sweet, 120 grain pills. After a proper heat up those little beauties just fell right out. The previous owner either rarely used it or treated it like it was gold plated. It is a very sweet mold. I have a Ruger SSM chomping at the bit to send those babies down range.

Well, I really lucked out today. Went and bought a box full of odds and ends of shooting stuff that was advertised locally for $40. There was mixed bag of .22 rimfire, old .38 S&W ammo, 12 gauge, .410's and 3 1/2" 10 gauge ammo. There was .38 Special brass and .44 Mag brass plus a bunch of pre-cast bullets in .44 some raw and some lubed and sized. The find of the day for me was that in that box was an old Lyman single cavity mould c/w handles in #429438, the 180 grain .44 calibre full wadcutter target bullet. I've wanted one of these for my S&W 624's in .44 Special for a while. Had a bit of surface rust on the mould and handles, but the cavity is clean and looks to be perfect. Happy, happy, happy ...

Accurate 4 cavity brass 35-145b. Excellent mould. Perfect bullets

New never used Lyman 280473G. Never had a steel or iron mold before. It cast beautifully today. Unbelievably easy drop, perfectly aligned blocks. It heated quickly and I could maintain a quick pace with no overheating.

[Good Cheer]

sigep1764,
Some of the 280473 molds drop pretty large and will shoot in 7mm.
Had a rifle it shot great in while silver plating the bore with gobs of moly lube. Go figure.

New one from Miha was delivered today, will be playing with this one very soon.

[Reverend Al]

Just bought my first brass mould from Old West. I bought a dual ignition Ballard in .44 rimfire a little while ago that came supplied with an adaptor cartridge to shoot black powder with .440" round balls using the percussion nipple. I thought I would go one better and I bought this .440" x .418" heeled .44 Henry rimfire mould to try in it instead of round balls. (The Ballard I bought slugs at .440" groove.) Hopefully this will give me better accuracy than with round balls. I'll make up some more cartridge adaptors so that I have more than one to work with and then I will get this old girl up to the range and barking again!

After years and years of searching, I finally found the ultimate 41 Mag mold, H&G #258 6 cavity!!! Needs to be cleaned up a bit, but the cavities look great! Can't wait to start casting these up!! I also acquired the #256 6 cavity not pictured!!!

[Leadmelter]

I have to go to the Post Office and pick up my Miha mold, 359/147 gr tomorrow.
Let the fun begin.

Not today but Wednesday of last week was a big day.

The postman delivered a package of 5 molds from Accurate Molds and a mold from NOE.

The Accurate molds are all 2 cavity irons. I really love these iron molds as they are fuss free.

They are:
31-170E for my.30-30
31-200L for my .303 Brit
38-250B for my .38-55
38-355CG for my .375/444 Marlin
43-220C for my 44-40


The NOE is a 360-183-RF GC for the .357 Maximum.

Being in Australia, shipping is expensive so i try to wait until i can spread the cost over multiple molds.

i recently bought a H & G # 130 6 cavity mold. It is wonderful to cast with/

[Shingle]

I got NOE 358-124-tchp it came with hollowpoint,cup point, and flatnose pins. I wish I had got this mold 8 molds ago. This is really a do everything mold.

Picked up a NOE 359-172 WFN RG4. My third NOE. I’m used to Miha’s Cramer style so there’s always a bit of a learning curve for me with NOE’s HP molds. Delightfully I had zero issues with boolits sticking in the mold.
