    Accurate mold service

    Ordered a mold a few days ago from Accurate mold
    was not certain of my choice of diameter after a while
    E-mail Tom many time to discuss this and he showed real patience with me
    and I took is advice
    I must say Tom, great service and no wonder here on this forum its all good say about him

    again thank you Tom

    I ordered a 5 cavity mold from him a few months back. In the comments section I asked him to make the mold with no lube grooves.
    I received the mold about a week later, but It had lube grooves... I sent him an email and he apologized for the inconvenience and had a new one sent out shortly after. he aslo let me keep the other.
    Couldn't ask for any better service. or product for that matter.

    I like my Lee's, NOE's, Arsenal's, and hopefully soon an MP.

    I'm not shy to say Accurate is the best of the best. There is no beating them.

    I have a bunch of Tom's molds. They are all awesome.
    My Favorite is a 4 cavity brass mold with two cavities that are 43-240 A and two cavities that are 43-240 AG. These work in my revolver and my lever gun. And with my load, they are accurate...

    I've been able to hit 2' diameter steel targets at 300 yards consistenly with a Henry Big Boy using Skinner sights with this boolit.

    Nowhere else that I'm aware of can you ask for a mold to match your own ideas (within his guidelines of course), wait a day or so, and he adds it up to his catalog. All you gotta do then is wade through the procurement process and it's on the way to you. Amazing really. Just to make it even easier, add 2 different styles and/or sizes and it's still on the way to you.

    Accurate Molds were my first handgun molds and I probably have 10 with one new 32 caliber on the way. I get his aluminum molds as they work well and don't weigh much.

    I absolutely love all of my MP Molds, but I always check out the Accurate catalog to see what's new there.

    I too am wanting a new Accurate mold. What was your reservation and what was Tom's thought on diameter? I need .411 and .412 for different revolvers. Powder coating gives me+ .002 so would ordering .410 work?

    according to Tom when you take a .410+ mold bullet usually come out about 0001 more to 0002 that is the tolerence on the +
    if you take +or- bullet come out at ether + or - 0001
    take a look at purchasing a mold on is site and you will understand how to choose

    I would order .411" +.002". This way you can use regular lubes in the future if you choose, or if you go to sell it you will have a more desirable mold. Sizing down is easy. Growing bullets is tough.

    I have several Accurate molds & Tom is a pleasure to work with & produces a high quality product for a very fair price.

    Mostly because alloy & casting temp are variables he has zero control over.

    He will, IIRC, request alloy type planned and will adjust accordingly, but the tolerances described above are a separate parameter.

    I like the 5 cavity aluminum molds I got from him. I could wish for more cavities for higher production rate per pour, but that certainly is not a deal breaker for the vast majority of casters.

    I never had a Lee mould that I could make work without a ton of work.

    RCBS and Lyman were my Goto moulds.

    I ordered an accurate brand mould and after casting with it, am kicking myself square in the buttocks. Hands down the best easiest mould Ive ever used. Closes correctly. Sprue plate is a gift from God, and the bullets come out the size advertized. I'll NEVER even try another as long as I can get Accurate brand

    Tom has worked with me to custom fit over a dozen molds to fit antique revolvers and rifles and every one has been excellent.

    When it comes to real accuracy FIT IS KING and Accurate molds are the only way to go.

    Well, I guess I'm another caster that will praise Tom and his molds! I ordered my first one after a failed lengthy search for a H&G and was very pleased with it. Pleased enough that I have since ordered 2 more. His turn around time is faster than his web site says and the work is awesome!
