How many molds

[Boolseye]

I've joine the over-30 crowd, I think I'm at 35 or 36.

if you actually know how many you have, you do not have enough!

New to this, so two. Problem is one is not even in a caliber I own (357446 mold). Bought it for the handles. Both are ideal/lyman two cavities so the plan is to clean them up, cast a few bullets. Might trade/sell the the 357 to get the 10mm mold I actually need or hold onto it as an excuse to get another 357.

5 years ago my answer was around 50. Now it would be "hundreds"

Enough to keep shooting the calibers I shoot- but I need more.
I look at every "WTS molds" that gets posted!

I like molds. Steel. Brass. Aluminum. And some I made from graphite.

[MT Gianni]

Well I have sold a lot and reduced some calibers but still way over 30.

[Greg S]

15 right now, 3 of which in the oven so to speak with probably another 5-15 on the horizon.

[Cheeto303]

My latest count is 73 molds. I need more.

[Mjdd23]

I've only been casting for 5 months maybe less so right now I have 4 molds all .358 for my Blackhawk and .35 Marlin. All are 2 cavity Lee right now but I can't wait to upgrade when funds allow.

Something like 120-130... And more to come

[SteveK]

Multi sinker mold = 1
2 cav .45 SWC mold = 1
2 cav .45 RN mold = 1
6 cav .45 RN mold = 1
2 cav 9mm SWC mold = 1
2 cav 9mm RN mold = 1
6 cav 9mm RN mold = 1
6 cav .223 FP mold = 1
and I need a .30 cal mold (someday)

Started counting 28 and i know there are more that havent been unpacked frm the other house and 2 more at my brothers, wow thats more than i realized . Now where did i stash the other boxes at when we moved? Look another mold , guess i need to use up some ingots in the morning.

Two. A Lee 6 cav 158TL and an RCBS 44-250-K. Pretty sure I need a 9mm Lee 6 cav for my Springfield R.O. and perhaps a rifle mold in 8mm Mauser or .308. I think 1 new mold a month is reasonable? But I also need a new Henry .357 carbine to help consume all boolits that Lee 6 cav is producing. And now that I think of it a 172 gr. .357 mold might be useful.........

Found this site and lurked for awhile. Joined last week. About two years I decided to take the plunge and started reloading for a 9mm. Just used factory bullets to “see if I liked it”! Well, didn’t take too long to decide that it was getting a little expensive, so I looked into casting. I need to give a shout out (or maybe shout at!) Fortunecookie45lc for his videos on casting using a dipper. Again, I started with one mold “to see if I liked it.” That’s when the trap sprung! I now cast and load for 5 different rifle calibers and 4 pistol. Powder coat all of them also. Still haven’t found the savings because there’s always something else I “need!” Over 12 molds in about a year and a half. I was gona confess to having a problem, but compared to some on here I’m apparently ok. For now anyway 😳
