How many molds

[pls1911]

Ooop.. forgot the 7mm-145-sil for the 7 TCU
That's 37... next worse affliction known to man, next to
Marlinitus...

Man, I have mold envy. I only have 4 molds...

[biscot]

Only 6 molds - all for 9mm. I have three Lee six-bangers, and 3 magma 2-cavs for my Master Caster. Mostly I only use the Master Caster, and crank them out by the thousands. I like to keep it simple, although sometimes I'm tempted to get some other handgun-caliber molds and make some boolits to sell - most of the guys I know that shoot cast boolits don't cast their own, they buy them mail-order. Can't figure that out. They're missing half the fun.

Don't become disheartened.
Most of us started out with just one mould!

[gnoahhh]

I've probably owned over a hundred in my life, but right now I have around 20. I tend to unload the ones I seldom use or no longer have guns for. Moulds sitting gathering dust have no value to me, so every now and then I'll put them aside and sell them and use the money for other moulds (or beer)!

[hansumtoad]

OK. I counted them. 356

I suppose I have 60 or 70. I need to do another inventory soon and add in Miha's molds. That man will keep me in the poorhouse. I've got 2 more of his on the way. Now I've got NOE in the mix too. Thanks to this site I've discovered so many mold makers I may not buy an "off the shelf" mold again.

I have at least this many, have to update the chorus line!

[zxcvbob]

I don't know, but 8 or 9 sounds about right. All of them are Lee, half 2's and half 6-bangers.

[Paulinski]

I got 8 and 9 more in queue at various group buys here...

Hi, my name is Rintinglen, and I'm an addict.... I think I have around 40, but I am not sure. I have .358 molds ranging from 75 grains up to 200 grains, I think about 11. I have 4 44 molds. 4 45 molds for pistol. 5 for the 45-70. 3 for my 38-55. 1 for a 32-40--(and I don't even own a gun in that caliber.) 7 for 32-20. 12 or so, 30 caliber molds. I sent a check out for another. I am an addict.

[Mossy Nugget]

Round ball and buffalo for 50 and 54 cal. BP. plus one round that is actually throwing .500 balls. Just got a Lee double gang 95gr. for Makarov. I am very new to casting for smokeless. Everything I know, I learnt' here. Oh! I guess that's six altogether.... There will be a Lyman #314299 or Lee 312-155-2R or perhaps in 165 grains as soon as I am done sluggin' the bore today.

[adrians]

i spend more time deciding what mold to use than i do casting ,thats kinda backwards aint it ,,oh well .

[DragoonDrake]

Adrians, I have done the same thing now. When I started this poll I had 26 molds. I now have nearly 100. I have finally started to sell them, because I have some I just don't know what I am going to do with them.

71 Exactly

[shotstring]

I think a family can safely get by with 1 or 2 jello molds, but more bullet molds than that are required for any family in my opinion.

[looseprojectile]

I got to thinking and I can't imagine a gun that I can't make a boolit for.
Maybe .17 cal or 600 nitro or larger. Oh I do have a .58 minie. And the .690"rb.
I have at least one mould for each gun, naturally.
At this point I think I have all I need.
I'd like to have a 400 grain .408".
And Ranch Dogs 170 grain 360".
A decent 8mm 200 grain.
A 120 grain .257". and so on and on and on.

Anyone want to talk swaging dies?

Life is good

[bearcove]

30+ is close. I sold a bunch of molds on ebay and bought nice custom stuff.

Thats down from 50 or so. Not counting fishing stuff!
