Got two in the mail this week. They both throw good bullets about .002 over groove diameter. The sprue plate is robust and stays nicely tight during casting. And the mold selection is extensive.

Congratulations
Nothing better than an Accurate Mold in my opinion
I keep on using their catalog pages as references for what they offer. There are a lot of patterns I would love to own right now. To borrow another's explanation on why I don't have them yet is to say "I've got the itch but don't have the scratch." Hope that changes soon.
They do make an excellent product , should I find a need for yet another mold I'll call them .

I have five of his molds and they are all excellent and very accurate. Huge selection also.
Upon every occasion now whenever I am in need of a new or a modified mold, in some fashion, I go the Accurate mold route. I have yet to not be very pleased with the molds.Robert
Cosmic_Charlie -- I, too am an aficionado of Accurate Moulds, having eight (8) of this manufacture. I am curious WHICH moulds you ordered/received, as well as for what firearm(s). And, of what material the moulds are milled out of. Might you share this?
Thanks.

Being collector of Ideal Molds - several that are scarcer than hens teeth - wanting the bullets from that mold ... have from various forums, members have sent me some of the bullets. So, I send 2 of the particular Ideal bullets to Tom - Now have the mold for the clone of those Ideal bullets. Sure wish though he would buy the CNC that will cut round nose bullets instead of My tooling requires a .18" minimum diameter flat nose (meplat)
Overall - Accurate Molds IMO are the best on the market other that Paul Jones molds, who has retired

I wish he would tool up for .22 cal and .25 cal

I went with Aluminum and the longer length. Both 4 cavities.
43-240AT For my 5.5" RBH
31-165D For my 30-30
Also ordered a 36-170T for my Henry .357 and SW Mod 27
These are all tumble lube designs.
Tom does a good job in addition to being quite knowledgeable and good to work with. I have....several of his molds and he's always the first person I recommend. His selection is priceless for those of us who seek and and shoot some really oddball cartridges.

The best molds I bought
Weapons are like money ... no one ever has enough
Those brass molds are fine looking tools!!!
I'm trying to pick one of Tom's molds for the 8x57 JR . He has some for standard 8x57 but no designs for the .318 grove size. I just emailed him for ideas.
Tom "shrunk" down a .41 magnum design for my .401 Herter. It casts like a dream!
Wow! Those are beauties!The best molds I bought
i've received my own designed mold in 40S&W couple days ago. a work of art ,so much that i've ordered another one for my nines. Tom isn't shy to share his experience with newbie casters like me,and it's really appreciated.
however, i wasn't aware that lyman handles doesn't work with tom's molds. only lee and rcbs 6 holes handles .i'm gonna pick more handles than what i need right now because i know i'm gonna order more molds from tom in a very near futur.
I've purchased 2 Accurate molds in the last couple of weeks, a 31T-115K for .30-30 light loads (and .30 carb/.300aac) and a 31T-220K for .300AAC subsonic. They are beautiful molds, rivaled only by MP/Mihec IMO.
I'm having some trouble getting these new molds to temperature however. I think I need to scrub the new out of them and use a hotplate
what do you guys uses as handle for the sprue plate. got some lee SP extensions which fits very good the sprue plates,but i've yet to find some slim wooden handles for added power ......need some more leverage to activate the cutter, a SP handle is a need in my book.
