Looking for keith style mold .44 cal

[henry8734]

I'm looking for a keith style mold for my 44 mag. I'm thinking a heavier bullet, maybe the 270 gr range. I also would like it to not be a Lee aluminum, and more than a single, really would like a 4 place. Oh and I really don't want to spend more than 50 dollars, I do already have a set of handles for a 4 place mold.
Thanks guys!

NOE almost has what you're looking for. 44 cal , 277 grain, Keith SWC, the only fly in the ointment is cost : 3 cavity $86.00 , 4 cavity $92.00 , 5 cavity $99.00

I'm a tightwad and loath to spend money, all my moulds are used Lyman and 2 cavity Lee's.
After buying one (Christmas present 2015) just to see what the hoopla was all about.
I now own 4 , I pay the money because they are that much of a pleasure to use.
Lee handles fit the NOE blocks....my advice , use a Lee for now and save your nickles and dimes, they are worth it.
I don't know any companies that sell 4 cavity moulds for $50.00 , might keep an eye on Ebay !

I use a very old Lyman 429421 four cavity.....great mold with great bullets....Paul

I have a four cavity Lyman 429421 that casts great.
I have a four cavity Lyman that has two cavities 429421 and two cavities 358429 170gr
I bought a four cavity NOE Elmer Keith signature mold on the last run. I have not cast with that on, waiting for spring.
I had good luck on Evil Bay. Retired from there.
Good luck

Pick up cans, sell some plasma, rake some leaves, shovel some snow, ....... but get the NOE.
You'll love it.

Save up for the NOE. It's worth the cost of admission.

If NOE doesn't have what you want, check out " Accurate Molds". They have a pretty good selection and great customer service.

NOE is very good-- a 2 cav NOE is not that far off you goal

[henry8734]

Thank you all for your comments, after looking some more, I would like to know what you guys think about a 2 cav versus say a 3 or 4. Is it worth the extra money? / weight? Also I thought maybe I'd be better off with a 255 gr mold? A shot is a shot, an extra few inches of penetration probably won't leave me out to dry.

I'm ...over 60 , and ladle cast , all of my Lyman and Lee's are 1 and 2 cavity . My first NOE was an aluminum 4 cavity. It is a lot heavier than I thought .
It tends to wear me out , it gets heavy and my wrist and fingers get tired . My other 3 NOE moulds are all 3 cavity. A good balance between weight and productivity for a ladle caster .

If you are young , strong and healthy get a 4 or 5 cavity mould, productivity is awesome. It is worth the little extra money for the additional cavities.

A good many of my molds are four cavity brass. They are heavy. A four cavity aluminium mold is the perfect balance between weight and production for me. For pistol bullets I don't want a mold smaller than four cavities. Two cavity rifle molds are fine by me since I don't shoot them in high volume.

Ditto on Arsenal molds. Just got two and they are even better than I expected. Jared will take good care of you.

How about this one it shoots better than the 429421 for me.
I have this exact mold.

I am 81 years old and regularly use multi-cavity molds. My favorites are Mihec six cavity aluminum molds. When using iron molds I prefer four cavity ones. As an example, I have a six cavity H&G #251 dbl ended wadcutter mold for a .38. It weighs nearly five pounds and IS too heavy. I prefer my four cavity H&G #50 BB wadcutter for the .38's. I DO have my limits, but a six cavity aluminum mold is just perfect for me. I believe NOE's maximum number of cavities in aluminum is five. They work quite well, too.

FWIW

Thanks for the replies guys! I'm pumped to get my hands one one, just still digging in my pocket. I also saw this one one the group buy... any reason I should be scared of any of the aboves or this one not shooting well?

Can't go wrong I have a NOE 432-277-SWC RG2 cavity PB (Keith) and it shoots great.
