Looking for feedback on Ballisti-Cast moulds

[Maj Tom]

I’m new to your forum and have been casting for a number of years. My moulds of choice are H&G and I cast primarily for the .45 ACP. I find with the proper technique I can achieve exceptional consistency with these moulds; weight variations of plus or minus a couple of tenths for multi-cavity (four, six, and eight) moulds. I’ve read that when H&G closed their doors the tooling went to Ballisti-cast. Does anyone have any experience with Ballisti-cast moulds and/or comparisons to Hensley and Gibbs? Thanks…..

...Go to page 2 here, and scroll down to the "Ballisti-Cast vs RCBS moulds" thread for some thoughts to start with.
...I have one of their moulds on order, but have no experence with them as yet.
...Creeker, of Dry Creek Bullets, recommended them.

They are great molds. 2 to 3 week turnaround time on orders. I have several and they are my favorites. I once ordered a new design. The guy who cut the mold (not some secretary) called and apologized that it casted a little lighter than advertised. He wanted to know if I wanted it or if he should recut it. Think you are gonna get that with Lyman or RCBS?

That was probably Peter Neiss (sp?) you were talking to. I've dealt with him several times on the phone and he has always been very helpful.

Maj Tom-

I think you'll be very happy with the Ballisti-cast products. Very high quality.

I have several Ballisti-Cast 4 cavity moulds and am very pleased with both the quality and the service from the company.

I recently purchased a mould and wanted the base band to be slightly modified from the catalog example. There was no problem getting exactly what I wanted and just 2 weeks delivery.

Very good quaity work !

Nice people to deal with !

Not cheap, but just slightly more expensive than SAECO or NEI 4 cavity moulds.

I have several molds from Ballisti-cast. Same experience, they called to verify the dimensions and alloy I was using. Quality bunch to deal with. Very good molds.

probably the best molds on the market.

Good info. Thanks. H&G's are getting harder and harder to find.

It wasn't Peter who called me. I am pretty sure he has taken my orders, though. I used to have the guy's name that called me but can't find it.

You could be correct ole friend. The ones I have work perfectly.

Peter Niess owns the company now purchasing it from Dennis Edwards of Plaza, ND. I think the mould guy's name is Bruce...........Creeker
