    I need to update my list. I think I've gotten about 20 molds since the last time I even had the chance to cast...

    Collecting .32 molds. Please let me know if you have one you don't need, cause I might "need" it!

    When I started I too started with just 1 (.308 1-Cav) mould and it was about 4 - 5 years I think before I got any more.

    I picked up 5 or 6 (used but good) one time at the gun store for something like $5.00 each by buying them all, over 1/2 of them were for guns I did not own (yet), still do not own guns for some of them.

    I have 11 molds for the master caster. At least 3 xs that amount for hand casting.
    Gonna thin the hand cast down to just 5 or 6 essential molds in case the machine is broken or hell as broken loose and got to go total old school

    sent from my mobile.
    Don't like being hammered by the Cast Boolits Staff, then don't be a nail.
    The rules are simple to follow.

    If you do not stand for something, you stand for nothing.

    You can't spell "restore" with h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y.

    The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.

    I was unable to respond to the poll as I have less than one, but Lyman #412263 should be in my possession in less than a week. Will likely get one or more .38/.357 moulds and a 6.5-ish once I slug the bore of my Arisaka...

    While I'm at it, I just wanted to say THANK YOU to y'all for sharing your knowledge and wisdom here as I am a total noob at casting projectiles.

    The darn things share genetics with rabbits... I swear it! I think I voted in the 11-20 category a while back. I think I'm in the next group now... When I'm not looking, something just "appears"! Ask my wife--I tell her regularly!

    Where might I be found when I'm not here? Try looking here:http://www.facebook.com/NSWE.Pagosa and here: www.rescueropes.org

    Just bought another two only because they were listed as 70's unknown brand/manufacture.

    Haven't arrived as yet............anyone identify or know where these were built..........they're brass.
