Anyoen have any non-boolit moulds?

[sheepdog]

Wonder what kinda of interesting things I can cast out of lead besides bullets.

[jameslovesjammie]

Of course, I have a couple jig moulds. There are some guys on here too that have suppository moulds. :shock:

[woody1]

Sinkers ..... decoy weights

[cptinjeff]

Yep,

Fishing weights and jig heads.....wrap with some genuine buck hair (better if shot with a boolit[smilie=l:), and tip with a plastic worm, and they are still one of the most effective all around fish foolers!

[beanflip]

I have and use Jig, sinker and cannon ball 3 lb and 2 lb molds

Wish I had a hammer mold..

[Big Country]

I have a sinker mold.

[Eutectic]

Ingot molds

[Shiloh]

Ingot molds.

Also have several hundred various vulcanized rubber molds for jewelry models. An adjustable mold for pouring round rods and flat blanks of precious metal.

I think my bride has a jello mold. Do these count??

I have a Do-it mold that casts two bank sinkers, one 6 ounce and one 8 ounce. I use my questionable alloy for it. No sense trying to lose good alloy when snagging spoonbill.

i wish i had a little soldier mold or something but all i got are ingot and boolit

i have seen some interesting corn bread molds though it may tempt me someday

[Dan Cash]

I have a mould tha t casts a cowboy and a buffalo

[mooman76]

I have a round jighead mould with verious sizes I use for slugging barrels. I used to have a slingshot mould that cabelas sold years ago. It had did something like 40 1/4" pellets at a wack and it came in several sizes. I got rid of it after keeping it for years and now wish I had it. There are also hammer moulds and some old tin soldier molds out there.

Every depression in the earth is a non booilt mold catching lead made in stars.

[Marvin S]

I have several DoIt jig and sinker molds for Crappie and Walleye fishing. And my home made shot and decoy molds.

[DLCTEX]

I have a mould that casts 4 -4ounce egg sinkers. I bought it when my sons in Fla. were fishing in the keys, would love to use some of them snagging spoonbills in the Neosho in NE Ok. Haven't gotten to do that since '85.

[Green Frog]

Various vintage soldiers are available from moulds that were real popular prior to WW II and the discovery of how bad Pb is in the systems of growing children. Wonder how any of us survived to grow up and cast bullets.

Also, if you have a bunch of lead of dubious alloy, in addition to decoy weights, you can use it up several pounds at the pour by making dive weights for the SCUBA community. Poor quality lead alloy is just about as good as the purest lead mix for these functions.

[Rocky Raab]

Oh gee thanks, Froggie. Here I was chuckling over my new "secret" source of lead at a scuba shop, and you throw in the disturbing thought that some of it might be bad alloy. Cheese, man, what a bummer!

[Muddy Creek Sam]

Got three sinker molds.

Sam :D

[SciFiJim]

i wish i had a little soldier mold or something

I use a 250gr boolit mold to cast 60/40 solder into 1/2oz slugs for alloy sweetening. Have to run it MUCH cooler than normal or it takes too long to solidify.

[geargnasher]

You mean there's other kinds of moulds?????:kidding:

[Dennis Eugene]

I was thinking on getting a mold to make wheel weights to balance the tires on mine and my wifes cars. Might even be a market out there for them? Dennis

[Matthewx]

I have a bagpiper and a knight. My kids love making them but alas, I make them use lead free mix on them and save the lead for shooting. Funny how after casting one or two figurines the kids get bored, but after 100 bullets they still want to cast more!

Matthew

[SciFiJim]

Might even be a market out there for them? Don't know about the market, but I could sure use them from the secondary market after they have been used and replaced.

[Valley Forge]

Your question jogged my memory about small toy cannon and toy airplane molds that I bought back in 1985 so I went to the cabinet and found them in a box right where I left them. The company I ordered them from sold tin soldier molds and the like and I thought it might be a fun diversion but I remember that I got bored with trying to get good fill-out from the thin aluminum halves that lacked alignment pins and decided to come back to it another time. Maybe another time is nearly here.

[theperfessor]

A retired colleague and friend of mine used to have all sorts of figurine molds - band members, WWI and WWII soldiers, the complete M*A*S*H cast and crew, including a mold to cast a litter/stretcher and two attendants, cowboys and Indians, etc. For years he sold the figurines at his chiurch's annual yard sale.

A couple years ago he quit doing it because of liability concerns and sold all his molds off. I didn't want them at the price he set (and got, more power to him) but I did buy all his scrap lead and a rack of Acro bins. I ended up with a kitty litter bucket of figurines. I plan on keeping one of the best examples of each type and melting the rest. There isn't a complete set of any group by the way.

I will not sell any of them for the same liability concerns.

[10 ga]

Molds for all kinds of fishing and trolling etc...gear, gill net and cast net weights, decoy anchors, good use for the zinc! Even have an antique mold for full body decoys, they were used on sinkboxes. Best to all, 10 ga

[GLL]

This mould drops 1" diameter cylinders. I use these cast in pure tin and 60/40 solder to mix up batches of alloy.

[Jack Stanley]

I'm all for it.

It'll help in easing our sources of wheelweights.;)

[blaster]

I have a baby, a tea, and a table spoon for river fishing weights.

[357maximum]

I have 25-30 Do-IT sinker/jig moulds. I used to cast sinkers and such to support the gunfund monies. Then I found alot better uses for my alloy and am now too stingy and no longer want to see it snagged in the bottom of the river. I really should sell them molds but about the time I do...I will want one of em.

[Depdog]

Where did you get the 1" diam cyl mold?

Thanks
Glenn

[NoDakJak]

A cast iron Gingerbread man that will cast eight at a time. Neil

[Bulltipper]

I have a mold that makes 15# dive weights. I got it so I could dive the local river for the "gold mine" of salmon fishing weights that are in there. i figured it was worth the investment. if anyone wants some cast up, send me the equivalent weight in tin and i'll send you a couple weights for aswimmin'!! HAHA

I have a mold I don't know what it is for. It casts the round nose of a bullet with a short stem (stud) behind the round nose. Its as if it is made to drop in another mold and pour the rest of the bullet behind it.

[SciFiJim]

hiram, If you could find the corresponding full boolit mold to go with it, it could be used to create soft nosed boolits. I've seen molds that had both a nose portion and a full boolit in the same mold.

[hiram]

I know I don't have the other mold. I think I have some pieces somewhere. If I can find them, I will post pics.

[leadeye]

I have a bunch of molds that cast Napoleonic era HO size soldiers. Used them when I was in school. Still have some of the hand painted soldiers somewhere.
