RCBS 82045, a 325 grain .359 mold that I'm thinking for light 45-70 /458 Socom loads.
I "broke it in" right away by cleaning it with acetone and casting about 350 boolits. A very good mold to cast with.

I didn't buy a mold...but I did buy two sets of Lyman mold handles for $27 shipped off fleabay. I didn't think that was too bad. A few scorch marks on the one handle set but i'd probably have done that myself. I'll put one set on the mold I purchased two days ago...a 2 cavity Lyman 35891 148gr DEWC.

I just got a 4-cavity NOE copy of the 311299.
It rains bullets.

I got an MP eight cavity H&G 275 9mm mold. I immediately had to try it out, and I've never cast so fast in my life. Though it does take a little different casting technique, so I have to get used to that. Now, I'm on a mission to get one a 45 acp H&G 68.

My new Accurate 45-70 mold just arrived!
Just got an Ideal 308334 double cavity mold.Cast diameter is .3135 on bands and .2995 on straight portion of bullet nose with the alloy had in the pot.Weight 195 grains.Very easy to use;had good bullets as soon as the mold warmed up.
Just received my first MP mold in the mail today. 225-75 Nato mold in 6 cavity brass. First brass mold and its as heavy as my NOE Elco 5 cavity but half the size! It is beautiful...cant wait to fire up the pot next Thursday or Sunday.
May have something do with cornmastah from NOE....He's youtube account...Full Lead Taco

Not a mold but my handles from Midway arrived today along with an H&I die and top punch. I got my first Accurate mold at Christmas. I'm impressed with the handles so far.
Hmm, wondering about a replacement plug for the 41027, to make round noses instead of hollow bases...

Also, I'm picking up a .356 mold a friend de-lubegroved. someone shaved the mold down to make the boolits lighter -- I'm anxious to see how it casts and shoots.
I just got what would a vintage NEI mold from the late 1980", a 5 cav 204 451 SWC which has been used very little. It cast at 208 gr with COWW+ tin and .453" da , these are a little heaver than I wanted but cast really nice bullets.
6-cav Lee special run 356-158g RFN I use for 9mm heavy subs (they drop 160ish with COWW alloy)
