I need >300 cast bullets for 25acp and would also be interested in acquiring a mold to cast my own.
I do have 9mm brass for trade or can pay outright.

I can take as cast. What diameter does your's drop? What bullet shape? I'm interested for sure.

This is the mold I'm using. They drop at .251"-.252" and weigh about 53gr.

Hi Lee. I decided to buy that 6 cavity mold, so I won't be purchasing any bullets. Glad to know they drop at .251-.252 as I may not have to size them. You don't happen cast 6.5x52 Carcano do you?

I'm no master caster, but if you want the bullets to shrink below their stated .256 diameter, use soft alloy and cast at very high temperature.

.25 ACP pressures and velocities will be well-suited to relatively soft alloys, anyway.

Best I can tell, most mold-makers test with Lyman #2, wheelweights, or close approximations thereof. Softer & hotter will always result in greater shrinkage.
