    mould advise?

    im planning on casting for .45/70(.458), .44mag, .40s&w, 10mm.

    which size moulds(# of cavities) would you reccomend for a new caster.

    ill probably be shooting the .40s&w, 10mm, .45/70 fairly frequently.

    ................Two cavity moulds are never a bad idea. A big jump in production over a single cavity . I'd imagine that 2 cavities will easily keep up with your 45-70 shooting. Four cavity moulds can be pricey, so 2 cavity's may have to suffice also, but if they think you'll be doing a LOT of shooting with the pistols, investigate the Lee 6 cavity designs.
