Take a look at the NOE offerings www.noebulletmolds.com
Go to the shop and click on 38 /9mm , there are several NLG designs .
I like NOE moulds , have more than a few , and they are made in the USA .

I have Mihecs 8 gang mold in 135 grain NLG and it is amazing. He has them in other weights, boy its fun to rain those fresh bullets into the water.

NOE only makes 5 cav max and their sprue plates rust otherwise not bad I have half a dozen of their molds. They tend to be out of stock too.

I would say that Accurate makes the best molds because that is what I use.

Mihec makes what you look for and they are great. I use the 9mm 147 and it shoots great and is easy to coat.

My recommendation is for accurate molds as well, because they will cut a custom mold into iron blocks. Years ago I tried the Lee aluminum molds, and while I've been told the custom makers quality is much better, I've found that iron is the ideal mould material for me. Some like brass, but that has its own struggles. Iron will last forever, the only issue one could possibly have is corrosion. VCI paper and a suplus ammo can = no issues at all, you don't even need to oil them.

Any of the companies listed are good. Of course you will have to wait weeks to get them from any of them so I’d order sooner then later

If the mold is in stock at NOE, Arsenal, or MP you would normally have it within a week.

I've had MP molds arrive less than 48 hours after I placed the order.

I have a few from accurate moulds, they are CNC cut and you can order exactly what you want. They will custom cut it to suit your alloy to give you pretty close to the desired weight.

The finish is awesome, the only thing that made me sad was the fact it didn't come with a sprue plate for my master caster, i had to supply my own.

What handles do these molds use? I searched the site and could find nothing other than this ambiguous mention of handles in their FAQs sections: (SECURELY ATTACH TO A SET OF COMPARABLE HANDLES).

I only see brass or aluminum listed in their drop down selection menu. Couldn't find any mention of iron or steel.

I have a quite a few 9mm molds, but the best one in terms of ease of casting is my 6 cavity 135gr NLG brass mold from MP Molds. This boolit is also very accurate.

Accurate isn't the same as Arsenal. Arsenal only offers brass and aluminum. Accurate also offers iron molds, $221.50 for a four cavity iron mold.
