    Only 11 but I have plans for more.

    How do you guys with 50+ molds keep track of your inventory so you don't have the problem of buying duplicate molds unintentionally?

    Roosters, It's not a contest. It's for the joy of pouring melted lead. Remember your first cast today. it will only get better (and sometimes more frustrating).

    About as many (12) as I have time for. Hope the retirement funds will allow for a few more to help fill up that "free" time.

    Lee 311-93-1R for 7.62x25 Tokarev sized to .311
    Lee 312-155-2R for Yugo Zatstava M59/66 (Which I refuse to call an SKS for the sake of all Californians. See the Robert-Roos list "Named Weapons banned" line 11 for why... )
    Lee C312-185-1R For Mosin M91/30
    Lee 365-95-1R for CZ 82. This one has been a little troublesome. Still playing with the powders. I think it's the polygonal rifling more then anything.

    I have 9 molds from 32 cal to 458 and one has 2 different cavaties.

    I just picked up a 4 cav 358432 and poured 575 nice ones.

    I remember my first castings just a few years ago. I showed them off at my gun shop and took pictures. Yeah I had the fever pretty bad and still have a lot to learn

    I think I'm down to 9 or 10. I only cast for 4 calibers so all I look for is a couple in different weights for each caliber that will shoot well. I have a tendency to just cast with the one that works the best and meets my needs. Not saying I wouldn't try a new one, but pretty happy with the ones I have. I don't need a drawer full of molds I never use.

    I had to sit down and think about how many. Best I can figure is 14 , but I would like to have several more. Trouble is a lack of disposable income on my part and outrageous prices sellers are asking , even for used moulds. I looked at a group buy yesterday but the cost of a 2 cavity mould, handles and shipping was still out of my reach. I just keep looking and every now and then find a mould at a affordable price. The fun is in the hunt.

    I would have to go in the den and shop to count but at least a hundred.Old timer in our club collected everything and when he passed the widow sold the guns and asked me to just get the other JUNK out of his shop.

    I have over 100. Many get used and I like to have the selection. Now that pistol shooting is has gone I have a number of moulds that are a little redundant.
