What moulds do you cast with the most?

[Harry O]

Just got done casting about 1/3 of my next years supply of 41 Long Colt bullets today. I got to thinking about which moulds I use the most -- meaning which calibers I shoot the most. Here is my list of most common in the order I use them. I cast a lot of others, but only on rare occasions (as needed). How about you?

1) Rapine 386215 Hollow-base 41LC mould (modified from 386185).
2) Lyman/Ideal 358477 (for 2 or 3 dozen .38 Specials)
3) RCBS 32-98
4) Lyman/Ideal 358156 GC

None or all, depending how you look at it. Tend to crank out bullets in multi- hundred lots, most all being for single shots or slow rate repeaters like lever action and bolt guns. 2/3/400 bullets lasts a spell, especially for ML target guns.

For me
1. 4 cavity NOE 412459
2. 4 cavity Ballisti-Cast 668 .45
3. 3 cavity Saeco #382 158 gr. SWC (replacing with an Accurate 36-160K)
4. 3 cavity Accurate 36-171N
5. 3 cavity Saeco 16H .38 wadcutter
Used to cast a lot with a 2 cavity Lyman 358156 but the Accurate 36-171N replaced it so it's an honorable mention.

Lots of 38/357
some 45
lots of 30 stuff

[reddog81]

Lee 358-140 SWC 6 cavity
NOE 453200 SWC H&G 68 replica

I've got a pile of .358 molds and that Lee produces some extremely accurate bullets in a hurry

[Mr Peabody]

Mostly for the 45 acp. The rest are 6.5 and .311

I use a Lot of lee molds. I cast around 1000 of each a year of 9mm 40 S&w 38 spec and 30 cal rifle. I have two different 30 cal noe molds. a 130 gr and a 200 gr. The lee 90 swc and 100 rn are so fun to shoot in my 308 that's what I use the most with light loads.

38/357 RCBS 38-150, various Lyman molds

2. Lee TL 356-124TC for 357 mag

3. Ideal 358429, just bought it off here, haven't used it yet, but when Im back home I'm pretty sure it will take my #2 spot.

I fill up cigar boxes. Once the get halfway empty I cast and fill up the spares boxes. I use the following:
NOE 266-125
LEE 356-125
LEE 277-135
LEE 308-170

[Joby]

well. The ones I use the most. .309,.358,.401. And then other calibers I'm low on or molds I recently obtained.
Unless I'm showing someone the ropes of casting and then it's usually what they could use.

It is indeed an addiction. A new bullet design,a new caliber,or some other experiment of handloading. An old tradition with many new twists and technologies to utilize. Also an extension of the shooting sport itself.

[RobS]

Accurate 45-230-V which is great for 45 ACP
MP 452374 HP would be next in this caliber

Accurate 40-190-R for 10mm is my next most used mold

Then would be the Accurate 45-310-B mold for heavy Ruger Only 45 Colt loads

[Wayne Smith]

Flavor of the day. Currently .395 round balls for the coming flintlock. Harry, I have a bunch of the Lee heeled HB cast for my .41. Very accurate in my Uberti. A local SEAL even commented on it's accuracy when he shot it - and he only shoots semiauto's.
