An old Lyman-Ideal 358 345 - 115 Grain Semi-Wadcutter...figuring to see how it does in .38 ACP, 9mm Largo, and 9mm Luger.
Was Tapping my Ladle on the Pot edge and my Two Cavity Mold in question fell in and got a large globby Lead adhesion on it, which thankfully peeled off easily...

Rcbs 45-500 pp due to the foolish decision to try a heavy paper patch bullet in a lighter weight Sharps rifle.
This'n just came in the mail - a Lee 6-hole 452-230-TC. It'll be used for .45 ACP, Auto-Rim and Colt. Gonna have to stay off the throttle in the revos bcz no crimp groove, but should still be a good wheelgun boolit with about 5.5/Clays with a tight case fit. It'll do to play with til the 452-255-RF and 452-255-SWC I have on back order come in.
I had two arrive today, both Lee 6-cavity: a .358-158-RF that I plan to use PCd in my son's heavy subsonic 9mms for his suppressed Skorpion, and a .452-255-RF for the .45 Colt in the Blackhawks and R92, and the 45 AutoRim in the 626-8.

I ordered a 4 cavity mold from Tom at Accurate Molds on Thursday last week and received it today! Talk about fast turn around! Two holes are a H&G 68 clone and the other two are his 45-200Q design for the 45 colt. Both styles are 200 grain cavities. Warming up the pot this afternoon and see how it casts!

Haven't posted here for my last 2 molds, both are MP's and both are 4 cavity brass 314-640 115 grain. The PB came first a couple weeks ago and it casts so well that this morning I accidentally ordered the GC version (and used my discount code).
I bought the PB one specifically for a new Single Six Bisley in 32 H&R. Since the cylinder and hammer are off the DougGuy and the gripframe is off to Chigsgrips I haven't even fired it yet. Being a relatively new mold junkie I figured the GC version would shoot great out of FA97 in 327. That's the truth as I know it.
The PB has been used 4 times so far and it is probably my best casting MP Mold to date. Any tinning wiped off during the first casting session and as long as I watch for any more of the silver stuff, I can jist wipe it off with a piece of burlap I keep handy while casting. Once seasoned/used, these molds are wonderful.
Ended up being the High Bidder on E-bay for a new old stock Thompson Center round-ball mold in 54 caliber! I am hoping it will be a good match for the barrel I am having bored to .54 by Mr Hoyt in PA. Much to look forward to in the coming weeks!!!
Time to bump this one up I suppose. I ordered another Accurate Mold a couple weeks back and it showed up today. I suspect highly that it would have been here sooner but for the USPS. Anyway, as usual Tom's molds are works of art. It's the 45-230FT. A tumble lube design that will be PC'd only. It's for a RBH convertible in 45 Colt/45 ACP and intended for the 45 ACP cylinder. In a pinch I plan to try it with some of my 1911's.
I unboxed it, disassembled it, ran it through my ultrasonic for 5 minutes, and put it back together for tomorrow. I always have to cast with a new mold.
