As I have written in Levergung section I am in the process of casting my own. I'd like to start with 405 grain flat nose bullett for my Marlin an Henry lever and a 140gr spitzer for my Carl Gustav Husky. Matter is that living overseas I cannot fail making the right order: ie wrong dia, non well fitting products, because sendig back the mould will double the price (to gave you an idea a lyman moulds its about 170 bucks here). For the levergun, both sludged less than .457 a .459 dia, single or duble cavity, would fit. Then I could resize for each gun with a custom lee resizer. On the swede mauser I jet have to find the correct product. Cause my wife will be in N.Y. in mid september I could avoid shipping and custom cost having the moulds sent at her's hotel.
Now the quest: I have fullfilled the contact form on Mountain Mould but had no answer. Are there any other makers before I place an order on Lyman or RCBS? I would prefere iron mold over aluminium or brass for durability and cause I cannot l have full controll on the metal i'll cast. If forced to buy an alu one I think i can order some Lee and enlarge them at my needs (but still I could'nt score a .264 mould for the swede within Lee catalog)
thanks for any help and good shoots

The mold will be cut to drop the exact diameter you want in the block material you want.

Since you're wanting an iron mold, I'd have to agree with everyone and go with accurate

I believe Accurate doesn't cut anything smaller than .280

Well I contact Tom and ask him. May be will go only for the 45-70 rounds cause of costs (sort of jewelry, right) and also becasue I have read some hassles casting for swede mausers
