Hello! great forum you guys have here. I have been lurking for a few weeks, reading a lot and finally have a question. I have been reloading for about 5-6 years and I happened to find 250lbs of Lead WW as well as 300 lbs of pure lead at my grandfathers house. Naturally I've decided I need to cast my own boolits now.

The lead has all been melted down into ingots(separately of course) and I'm going to test the hardness with a cabin tree lead tester and mix as I feel necessary.

Now for my question: I am looking for a .45 acp mold that is a true round nose design, has no lube grooves as I plan to Hitek coat my boolits and it will be used on a magmaengineering master caster. It needs to be capable of adapting to the master caster and be a 2 boolit mold design. I would prefer a 230 grain weight but anything over 200 grains will work for me.

Does a mold like this exist? Ive been looking at accurate, mihec, NOE and other companies but haven't found one that meets those needs. I saw that hardline built a mold like this but I also read that they are no longer a business and had poor customer service.

I would prefer to purchase the mold from a company that has a good record on customer service.

Thank you for your time,
Andrew

Accurate molds. If you can't find what you want in his catalog, you can design something yourself.

Thanks! That's the closest to what I've been looking for so far. I do a lot of uspsa shooting and would really like to find one that doesn't have a flat point. Accurate will only make custom molds with a .18 flat nose, no complete round nose molds from what I gather.

I think I'll order that and see how it feeds. If anyone else has any leads I would greatly appreciate it.
