    Well I've owned quite a few, but I guess I don't have as much $$$ as some as I always end up trading/selling before finding a new mold. With that I have 7 molds currently, waiting on one, but have had 30 or so different molds throughout my time casting.

    I'm down to around 50. Sold some I wasn't planning to use and some duplicates. Still have several I don't have guns for.

    Some things one doesn't need to know!

    For example a quick 'head' count here in my bed room netted me 15 molds!

    None of them 6 bangers!

    I will now fight the urge to go count everything up for the rest of the evening.

    All you guys like this need to get the duplicates out to the Swap & Sell and allow us less fortunate folks to beat ourselves silly getting to the bargains and help ourselves improve our condition (Conservative POV), or I could've said give them to those of us less fortunate to "spread the wealth around" so we can be like you (Liberal POV).

    Sadly only about 55 currently but always looking to fix this short comming.

    I know of one forum member here that has over 700 moulds so the rest of us here are real light weight Johnny come latelys.

    You are right, my poll was too limiting. I only meant bullet molds; each one counted separately. I started this poll b/c my fiancee was getting a little upset that I have 29 molds. I said so let us see what everybody else does. I think I have some catching up to do. The only issue is that I don't know what else I need at this point.

    Look for molds for guns that you want to get. Once you have the mold, you have more incentive to get the gun.

    Why would the fiancee be concerned about the number of molds you have?

    You need double cavity's of your sc molds and 4 cav of your dc molds. You need a second one of hard to find obsolete ones that shoot so well in your guns you couldn't stand it if something happened to it. You need one with a different profile same weight to group just a little better.
    Last count was over 15 35 cal molds and no duplicates, with a couple on the want list.

    There are actually two threads. One with a poll and one without.
