    Wow, interesting question. I bet over 12. I never pass at a good deal; have ideas for new projects in the future, including SC hollow point projects, of which there are over 6 alone.

    6-8, but I'm working on it.

    I've been sidelined with some health issues for most of a year while the untested moulds have stacked up. I think I've decided to try to cut back to 1-2 moulds/firearm, I think that may reduce the "problem."

    I must say, it is nice to be around gun-talk again. I've missed it.

    I have 21 molds and only two which I have not used. Both were picked up at a gun show a couple of months back. One is Lyman 311407 which I want to try but it is to hot here in the summer to cast.

    I want to say 3, but it might be as high as 5. I haven't had alot of time with work and the flood in Minot.

    I just counted. The number that I haven't cast with is 24.

    I was out of the country for a while, then got married, and moved, and had all kinds of other reasons I couldn't cast, so I'm just now getting caught up.

    Most of the molds I haven't cast with are duplicates, or molds for calibers I don't own, or at least, don't shoot much. Still kind of a big number though.

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

    I've only a dozen or so moulds, just 1 that's untested by me. If my life long buddy were to bring that .54 TC incline by for a visit Id break out that Maxi-ball mould and fix the issue.

    I have 25. I got a bunch and have not had the chance to cast with them. I am with CJake, it has been in the mid 90 and I just can't cast in that.

    I have 7 that have all been used on numerous occassions. They are all Lee Aluminum moulds, most (5) are black powder for my .54 or .36, the other two are .451" for my ACP or Long Colt and .312" for my .303 British and now my 7.62X54R. I am going to be adding probably that many again as time and money presents itself for my 9MM and .308", one more for my .36, the conical boolit mould and a 200 grain .314" for my .303/7.62X54R, as well as a couple more for .45 aimed primarily at my Long Colt.
