Looks like a heavy .45... Como on nasher, don't tease like that--give us the specifics!

It's one of Accurate Mold's standard catalog designs, 45-230-L, made to my specification of .453" nominal driving band diameter with clip-on wheel weight alloy. I really wanted a design similar to the Lee tumble-lube 230 2R which has a great nose profile for .45 ACP, so I e-mailed Tom to see if he could make one just like it with two standard lube grooves and a plain base, he suggested this design which was exactly what I wanted as-is. He can make just about anything you want from one to three cavities, and once he writes the CNC program, it becomes a cataloged item. BTW, these are lathe-bored, that's how he can tweak the dimensions for each mold as desired.

I have bought two from him and they have been fantastic to work with. The order process was a joy. Catalog shows CLEARLY and exactly what you getting. And hardly any waiting, oh yeah; reasonable price with quality work. What's not to like?

Just wish he made them smaller than 30 cal, could use a good custom in 7mm and 270 (6.8)
Can't wait to get mine.
Is his web site in the sticky area someplace ?

It's on the last page of the mold makers sticky up top Jack. I believe it is accuratemolds.com.

You're tellin' me! I'm afraid to even mount the handles on it, might scratch the pretty brass. The cavities are cut so well they look like they were polished to a mirror shine, probably the result of good, free-machining brass, sharp tools, and a really tight CNC machine.Originally Posted by Buckshot

Beautiful! I don't own a brass mold, but the pictures sure make me want one!
Thanks for the site Pearson1662 I went snooping through the stickies too for good measure . Got a few nice pictures here and there but I'm not the one who can open PDF files so about all I can do is look at the nice stuff others have posted .
As nice as they look , they remind me of a Brass mold I got from NEI about thirty years ago .

PS dowload and install Foxit Reader if you have no PDF reader on your computer or don't like Adobe Acrobat, it's free and works as long as you don't need to print the files.
I think it was meant as a compliment, as in "They look so nice they remind me..."
That is truely a thing of beauty. If you don't mind me asking, why 2 lube grooves instead of one larger groove? Just wondering.

DANG Gear that is some kind of nice! Let us know how they shoot...................

I dont know why the two lube grooves on his, but mine is designed with purpose. I have heard that h[ollowpoints tend to have greater stability because the center of gravity is towards the rear. My design isnt a hollowpoint, but I used t6he principle at play here, by making the front lube groove considerably larger than the rear, thus pulling the CG to the rear. As soon as I can narrow down my leading issue, and can settle in on a set diameter, I will be ordering one of these beautiful molds.
