I could be wrong but thinking Ballisti Cast is also producing CNC milled moulds in addition to cherri cut..........Creeker

[tom barthel]

I just sent an e-mail to lee precision suggesting they offer something like the Ranch Dog bullet in .432 and .460 gc molds and sizer/seaters to go with them. If they get enough requests, they may expand their line to include more suitable products. It's something to think about.

Welcome to CB Mr Darr. Happy to have another source available.

Can you expand on a list of your capabilities? How many cavities max? Usual? Steel,aluminum construction ,,ect..

Thank you. :cbpour:

[Dale53]

I can personally attest to the quality of a Borton-Darr bullet mould. I have seen them perform where it counts! Their casting qualities are dern near wonderful. the bullets fall from the mould. Of course, these are CUSTOM moulds Jim and Barry will work with you to fit YOUR rifle, etc.

Delivery has been excellent, also.

[kenjuudo]

Had a chance to cast with a Borton-Darr mold this winter. A work of art for sure.

[dromia]

Mr Darr is supplying me with two moulds, they come highly recommended by DoubleDD and Martinibelgian.

I'm looking forward to their arrival with anticipation. :drinks:

Borton-Darr Moulds specialize in moulds for competitive rifle shooting. Moulds are base pour single cavity made of steel with 3/16" thick sprue plate. Calibers .22 to .50. Each mould is made to individual client specification using any of our nearly 200 cherries, or made up to customer drawing, reproduce from sample, reproduce obsolete bullet styles or work with you in designing a bullet for your needs. We use a unique cherrie cutting process that allows us to tune bullet diameters to allow for a specific alloy shrinkage and/or oversize groove and bore diameters. No charge for making new cherrie cutters. Every mould is test cast to verify diameter and functioning of mould. Test castings are always sent with mould. Price of moulds is $115US, shipping included, handles $30 with mould order only. Our payment policy: do not prepay for moulds, "try it before you buy it" (within 30 days) If for any reason your not satified with our quality just return it.

I also have a complete 200 yard ballistics testing range like used by commercial ammunition manufacturers, with muzzle to target velocity recording, time/pressure testing, and actual ballistic data output. The test facility is used by us to develop new bullet designs.

Jim Borton has almost 40 years cast bullet experience and I have almost 40 years bullet mould making experience., both of us are competitive cast bullet rifle shooters.

I hope this helps explain who we are.

well ill chime in for NEI
my mould is excellent and by far the most well made one i own including an old saceo an old lyman and several lee moulds

does take a little more time to heat up but once i get it going the only time i have to stop is when the pots empty

the mould i have is a 2 cav alum in .454 an is a 330gr kieth style for my 45 blakhawk
some of the guys i shoot with say it sound like a cannon going off (now if i can just get a deer to come close enough i doubt it will go very far.

[Fabian23]

Hello all,

My first post here out of desperation :confused:

I have a percussion rifle with a .410 bore diameter which gets me stuck for all standard BP rifle bullet moulds so I figure I may as well try to get a mould of the original bullet profile. There are two I would like to try, both of which have a slightly unusual profile.
One is a pure compression bullet and the other is a combination compression/minié bullet. I have all the dimensions in metric. If anyone is up to taking the challenge let me know.

http://www.neihandtools.com/catalog/index.html has them in a 62 and 72 grain, both are gas check designs. I have not tried any NEI moulds myself, but have been eyeing the 62gr mold when/if my financial situation allows. Hopefully some of the other members have had some experience with these or other 22 moulds like you are looking for and will chime in.

P.S. Email Bernie@oldwestbulletmoulds.com, their site doesn't list moulds available, but I know he has at least one .224 bullet in the weights you are looking for because he sent me pictures of it when I was asking for a 22 Savage High Power mould. His molds are brass and are excellant, he's also a great place to find moulds for odd or obsolete cartridges.

I just received my Accurate Molds custom 433270WC full wadcutter 2-cavity.
It is my first mould from AM and looks very nicely done ! I will cast a few this weekend to experiment a bit.

I must say it was a pleasure working with Tom. It took exactly five days from paying for the order until its arrival at my door !
The entire process of design, drawing, and delivery was less than 10 days ! :) :)

I noticed this thread last sunday.
I thought I kinda want to try a brass mold some day.
I went to Tom's website, He has a ton of standard designs.
I seen that one of his standard designs is a 41 WC button nose in 190 gr.
I thought, WOW ! I like the 41 and I haven't seen a mold in a WC before.
so I placed an order through the Website sunday evening. I was able to specify
what size I wanted the bullet to drop with what alloy (WW @ .412).
I also asked a question in the comments line of the Paypal order form.
Tom responded with the answer about 2 hours later...on a Sunday night, WOW !
This morning...that's 3 1/2 days later...the postman delivered it to my door.
I could never imagine "CUSTOM" service like this via Mail-order (ur Web-order)

Thats a pretty mold. I was going to have them make a .40 mold for me, but the meplate that I wanted was too small. .100, he wont go under .18., oh well.

[turbo1889]

Thats a pretty mold. I was going to have them make a .40 mold for me, but the meplate that I wanted was too small. .100, he wont go under .18., oh well.

That's a tooling limitation and goes for most lathe bored custom molds. Mountain Molds has the same exact 0.18" minimum meplat limitation built into his online design program as well and he also lathe bores his molds.

It is my understanding that there is a way around the limitation, namely the use of custom spoon cutter to finish the nose out to a set shape. I've always thought that a ball end milling cutters could be used as the final stage boring tool on the lathe just chucked in center like one would do with a drill bit to finish molds off with a ball end nose instead of a flat meplat if so desired and just always use a ball end size just a little bit bigger than a flat meplat would be and calculate the depth of cut for a clean tangential junction between the nose curve or taper but I am not a machinist myself and that may not work for some reason that I am not aware of. I tried doing this myself with just a drill press on a junk Lee mold to test the theory and one cavity it worked great on and the other I got the ball cutter just a little bit off center and boogered it up; I think that was mainly a limitation of the crude equipment I was using though.

I am not a machinist or a draftsman, but wouldn't the problem be solved by using a nose pour design?

Here is a drawing of the boolet I would like to produce, I don't have all the numbers on it because I simply don't know how to do that. If anyone knows of a mold maker that can pull this off, I would appreciate it. If someone is bored, and knows how to fill in those missing dimensions, it would be greatly appreciated.

RanchDog is an old member here. He is an upstanding guy. He gets his molds custom made by Lee and verifies them before offering them to the public.

Does anyone know if BA Bores molds will be produced by another maker? There were some good designs amongst them and it would be a shame to see them lost to us all.
Juddy

[turbo1889]

I think the first step in that direction would be to kindly ask BA Bores if he would be willing to give us the specs. for his designs. I know at least some of them could be made by Tom@AM not all though due to tooling differences between the cherry cutting and CNC lathe boring techniques. I think NOE could cut all of the designs since they use the cherry cutting method.

What about Mihec

[Agateus]

Hi all,

I got a single cavity mould marked 3111502 L&W thrown in when I bought a Winchester 30-30 1894 underlever. I've looked in various catalogues, but cannot find either L&W or 3111502 mentioned anywhere. It's a round nosed. non GC bullet and looks to be about 165grns in weight to my eye. Anyone know anything about this mould? Accuracy, best load etc?

[Dr. Noah Zark]

Does anyone know where I can get a 410 hollow base / nose pour mold? I have seen pictures of them but can,t find the mold as yet. I have a Magma caster, need a mold to fit.

[GLL]

Ramslammer:

Many of Bruce's BRP molds were designed by 45 2.1. If you take a look at a copy of the old BRP catalog all of those molds marked with a "K" are by 45 2.1. He could help you set up a group buy with someone like Miha or NOE. These two have already been reproducing some of those exact designs.

Who all makes hp molds? I've only seen mp molds..

[SciFiJim]

Who all makes hp molds?

As in Hollow Point? That is a type, not a brand. As far as I know, when "hp" is listed with any model number or size of mold, it means hollow point.

[dnmccoy]

I understand its a type, what I was asking is who all makes a mold for 9mm hp. I have only seen the ones from mp

[SciFiJim]

Lyman makes one. Grafs it currently out of stock.

Or you could have a mold you already have HP'd by Hollow Point Molds

I am looking for a mold to cast 115 to 125 grain .312 bullets for a Martini Cadet. Does anybody have one for sale, or know where to find a manufacture.

RCBS makes a mold for that cartridge. I dont remember the weight though.
We got it for a customer several years ago. He felt we would get lots of interest in the boolits from it. His small order was the only one we ever got. Still I dont care to sell it as I want to keep it in inventory.

[DkHelmet]

I'm kinda new around here, but I thought I'd share that Bernie from Old West Bullet Molds is no longer making molds. He abandoned an order I had with him, if you've got something cooking and prepaid it would be a good idea to call ASAP.

How many mold makers are there that do 22 Cal. Mold

I need a .527 round ball mold and not having any luck any help would be greatly appreciated

That is a great list and appreciate the time it took you to find and post these. Being new here and not yet have tried casting this will help me when I get a little better at things.

[Doggonekid]

I have been thinking of getting a set of molds for my .475 Linebaugh 400 gr LFN GC from LBT. Can anyone tell me if they have done business with them and how do you like their molds. The price is better than having RCBS make me a custom set of molds.

There is no custom mold maker on this board who does not make excellent quality molds. Otherwise, there would no doubt be a rather lengthy sticky ripping them up one side and down the other. Trust them, they do good work, and stand by it.

Thank-you I appreciate your reply and will be able to buy with confidence now.

[smoked turkey]

I am considering having a custom rifle mold made for a rifle being built for me by Montana Rifle Company. It will be chambered for the 505 Gibbs. I am considering a single cavity, FN, GC somewhere in the 500 Grain range. It will be either in Brass or Iron construction. I currently have a Lyman 515142 that throws a good boolit, but it is not GCed and I would like to have square lube grooves rather than the rounded grooves that I now have. I was wanting to know if one of our custom mold makers specialize in something like this? If it is not appropriate to ask that question here I will be happy to post this elsewhere on the forum. Thank you.

[GWM]

Check out Accuratemolds.com, I'm sure you could get what you need in a custom design there, if not already in the catalog.

^ Yes. Tom does great work in a short period of waiting. Just stay away from Ballisticast/NVM molds. They are only made for certain machines and don't have good longevity.

NOE also makes great molds that last a lifetime.

Did Ballisti-Cast change something to cause their moulds to be short lived? Am I missing something here?

[kobeinu]

I got a bunch of cast .358 recently that say "from NEC mold" and appear to be 210+gns. I need to weigh them but that is my guess. But the reason I care is they were really accurate. The guys card said 12 gns Unique .358 from NEC mold CCI primer RP brass. Made a few up after checking some books. Anyone heard of that brand of mold? Can you point me to them? Thank you!

[John Ross]

Can anyone recommend a mold maker that would be willing to make single cavity molds for my 4-bore and 2-bore rifles?

Diameters are 1.000" and 1.326", respectively. Dan at Mountain Molds thought about it for a while and decided he didn't want to mess with it.

Anyone?

[Red River Rick]

John Ross:

I made this mould for a 1" Hotchkiss cannon. The owner intended to shoot BP only and wanted something with a large lube groove, and would work well enough for his needs.
I have handles that will work on this size of mould as well.

If you have drawings or samples, I may be able to help.

Maybe a machinist in your local area? A machine shop would probably charge a bundle for a one off, but a hobbyist or a local community college instructor that teaches machinists might consider it.

[John Ross]

RR Rick, that looks like just the ticket! Ideally, I'd like a hollow base nose pour mold, as I want to duplicate Col. Fosbury's Collapsing Bullet. I'll get to work on drawings.

Looking for the H&G #503 mold for my 44 special. Two mold makers show it on their website but also out of stock now for a long time. Is there any recommdations to someone who could do this on a custom order? Just tired of waiting is all.

Anybody know off hand who offers molds using their designs but with Magma Engineering blocks so mold can run on a magma machine. I know I saw it somewhere while looking over molds from someone months back?

NEI would cut his designs in Magma blocks in time past. Not sure if anyone now does.
