My first Accurate mold arrived yesterday, for .351WSL, 35-180CG. It is a piece of art compared to other store bought brands I am used to. I ordered the 3-cavity which is new to me also. Drops bullets like a dream, sized to .352. In the mean time, I am still working with Tom on a new design for a .458-340gr. Still need to get a sample bullet to him for referrence.
The 458 bullet is for my NWMP Cimmaron 1876 45/75. /Chris

Every time I get a new mold, I marvel at the talent that went into this piece of art and tool.

I just ordered a mold too. How long did it take to get yours?

I think it was about 12 days when I figured it in my head. This was at my door 12 days after I received order comformation. All of his orders have been received in about that time frame that I have read about. Not the three weeks. From the sound of things, he is real busy now also.
I might add.....that I ordered my mold as the 2.35" mold block with 3-cavities. The reason for this is because this is the biggest mold you can get with the long ear sprue plate, which I like much better than the short one found on the bigger mold blocks. Just my preferance but something to consider. /Chris

Made bullets today with my new Accurate mold. After the first four drops, it was dropping perfect bullets. Most of the time, they all dropped without tapping on the mold. Gas checks snap onto the shank perfect.
After lube, add g.c., size and relube, they weigh 185grs (w/g.c.) poured with straight lino. They drop at .353" and I size to .352.

Tom is such a pleasure to work with. I always ask his opinion first.

I'm getting ready to send him a drawing for a new one for my 35 Whelen AI. This will be my 3rd or 4th from him, and won't be my last.
