Ballisticast molds are very good quality, made to stand up to commercial use to make hundreds of thousands of boolits.
One Ballisticast molds mounted on a machine will make more boolits in a year than you will cast in your lifetime and still go on to make good boolits for years to come.

I can not comment on the new stuff

have 2 old H&G molds 4 cav that i Got.
1 i got at a very low cost because it was very old and abused (i got both from the same person )

after fixing problems and getting them both clean replacing bolts/ screws fixing loose pins

those 2 cast the most bullets that I have ever cast in the shortest time
with the best results (least amount of rejects) after you find the sweet spot for the temp on the pot you just fly.

Handles way better than the Lyman nut cracker ones

if i had the $$ I would place a big order

Saw a video of there sizer and would order 1 or 2 of those as well

24 years ago I ordered a Hensley and Gibbs 8 cavity for the # 503 250 grain Keith .44 bullet when it was Hensley and Gibbs. A couple of years ago I ordered a matched pair of the same bullet in a match set of 6 cavities from Ballisti-cast. A cast bullet from the older mould would fit in the new moulds and vice versa. Pretty consistant and the new ones cast just as wonderful as the old one. I noticed Ballisti-cast has the 8 and 10 cavity moulds back in production.
Bring'em on!!!

I have seven 4-cavity Ballisti-Cast molds and two H&G. Six of those B-C molds are the best casting molds I own and easily equal to my H&Gs!

My Ballostacast mould works wonderfully. It was the first "custom" mould I ever bought. I would have no problem buying another mould from them at all.

I like them just as much as the original H&Gs. I've got both.

All I can say about Ballisti-Cast is that they're the closest thing to an original H&G mold you can find today. Mine cast as nicely as my original H&G molds. You will not be disappointed if you get one.

We do not currently make nose pour molds. On another note we welcome all criticism positive and negative and do our best to fix anything negative that we possibly can.

Here is a good opportunity to find out for yourself about our molds: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?p=1618584#post1618584

Thanks for the comments. I emailed to order one for my 41 mag and the owner immediately told me about the group by thus saving me $50. He didn't have to do that. Must be a great guy.
