Where are the best places to buy bullet molds looking for 45 ACP round and flat , 9mm flat and round nose and 375 wad cutter and Sami wad cutter can any one help or is any body getting out of casting?

You can find or have made just about anything you would like to cast with here at cast boolits . Only problem is deciding witch one to start with .

machinest-man, do you mean 357 mold or 375 mold?

[Lee S. Forsberg]

Try Accurate Bullet Molds. They should have what you want.

[machinest-man]

357 thank you I will try Accurate bullet molds

[country gent]

Accurate, Noe, Saeco, and Lee all may have what you want off the shelf. Another would be the custom makers where you can desighn just what you want.

I do like the Lee designs. I use the 358-125 in my 9mm carbine and it generally goes where I want ti to. And I use the 452-200 round flat nose and the 452-230 tumble lube in my 45's. The 452-230 is the only boolit that I have ever had no trouble getting good feeding, chambering and on target results. It is reduced diameter at the nose and just plain works. All the rest I had to play with to get them to work. I liked the 358-158 round flat in 38 and 357 loadings. I would definetly go with a 6 cavity mold for production.

Keep an eye on ebay for a good used mould or 2.

What makes a 158 grain bullet better than a 125 grain bullet? I am looking at a Lee 358-125-2r but it seems better prices are available on a 158 gr.

The 158 is too much for a 9mm . The moulds should be the same price .


To the op I have an NOE version of the 454424 250 gr SWC in a 5C and there's no way I could come close to the duration or count with a 4C iron mould . I have 1 4C Lyman mould in 25cal and to be 100% honest I don't see me doing it again , its only grace is that it is for a particular bullet for a particular need and the price was right . It is also barely used .

I just might be interested in that!

Nope , 25 cal moulds are too hard to come by . Besides that little 25-20 bullet at 90 gr is saweet in the in the 257 Roberts .
