Another how many moulds question

[Blammer]

How many new to you moulds do you have that you've never cast with.

So far I have 6. I need to get busy!

How about you?

[btroj]

:smile:None? Is that bad? I don't buy many moulds so I tend to cast with them right away. Not all of us have 248 moulds for 44 alone...............

[Casting Timmy]

At least 4 I can think of......I don't even have anything that I can shoot for two of them. On the remaining two, one of them is brand new and I found it cleaning. I forgot about the mold until I stumbled across it again, so it was a nice surprise finding it and also disaapointing that I forgot about it and never have used it.

[justingrosche]

I can think of 4, there maybe a couple others.

I believe that I have 4 also. Well two of them are molds that I have casted with but I just got them back from being hollow-pointed by buckshot. I have a Ranch Dog 311-165 and a Lyman .662 roundball I have not used yet either. I also am working out a deal on a custom mold.
When I got into casting I thought I was going to save all kind of money. Maybe I could if I could stop buying molds and other casting and reloading gear.

Probably a dozen or so. I had to take a break from casting when I moved. After I moved into the new house it took me a while to finish out the garage. Well, I just got the garage completed and during the break I bought a bunch of molds that I am getting ready to test out.

[MT Gianni]

When Lee was getting out of the Hollowpoint business I bought a couple of molds at least one of which was a fuplicate. It is still unused. I have some rb molds that I haven't cast yet, at one time I wanted a rb mold for every cal;iber I shoot. I am missing the under 30's but have the over 30's covered.

[zardoz]

Just got a #0 buck sharpshooter yesterday in the mail, that has not seen the lead yet. Hope to change that tomorrow though. Now have about 25 moulds in the toolbox.

[no34570]

I think,I have about...........??????? 5 or 6 I have not cast from yet,been to busy going backwards and forwards to doctors and hospitals,but soon.

[dale2242]

Only one...that i know of....dale

[randyrat]

6-8 and of those I have a couple odd ball round ball molds that I can't even imagine what they would be used for.

The minute I sell a mold, I'll need it. It is just the way the little gremlins work.:-P

[gray wolf]

None--->I have about 4 and they are all old

[imashooter2]

6 for me as well.

[gmsharps]

I think the count is up to 12 or so and still counting. I have a bunch of MiHec molds that you guys have spoke so highly of and I have seen pictures of several. I'll get to at least see them when I come back in Nov for R&R but no casting, to many things to do. I'll be back in about 2 years and be ready to start to put a dent in the pile of ignots I have accumilated over the past several years.

[btroj]

Since I have none does that mean I need more moulds? Or do I spend too much time casting?

[casterofboolits]

About ten. They were taken in trades and I have no need for them. I'm getting them all together in preperation for putting them on the S&W forum. Most are two cavity Lyman/RCBS and a couple four cavity NEI moulds.

[mooman76]

I don't believe I have any but I could be wrong. I have allot of moulds, somewheres around 60 and generally one of the first things I do is to cast some to get more exact specs on it. Now how many have I cast and not loaded and shot yet is a totally different story and I have no idea there.

[Artful]

Right Now 4 and waiting for 4 more - I need to get busy also

[captaint]

Three or four that I've not used yet. Oh, and one on the way from NOE. Heck, I'm doing the best I can!!!! enjoy Mike

[Calamity Jake]

1 plus the 2 pointy moulds that are comming. It'll be fall before I use them as it is 100+°,
I don't cast in that heat!!!

[94Doug]

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.

Doug

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

two ranchdogs and another one is in midshippment, it should arrive in less than a week.

[Coffeecup]

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.

[old turtle]

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.

[jameslovesjammie]

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.

[NoZombies]

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.

[Harter66]

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.

[DragoonDrake]

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.
Adam

[treadhead1952]

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.

[white eagle]

been holding steady for awhile
although I guess I could say one
I bought one from the swap but haven't got it yet

[Southern Son]

Just the one. A CBE mould for my .310 Cadet.
