NEI molds

[mack1]

Picked up two NEI molds one 4 gang 230 gr 45acp and 1 double 358 155 gr gc. They seem to make great boolits, I,m thinking of getting a 4 gang 358 150-158 gr pb for 38sp what does anyone have any opinions on NEI molds they are kinda pricy. Any other sudjistions on a like aluminum mold in 150 to 200$ range

Mack,
Check out the Vendor Sponsors section. We have at least 3 different mold makers that do a very fine job. Don't think the price will be 150 bux either!! Check it out. enjoy Mike PS. Welcome to the forum!!

Mack before you buy a new NEI mould look around on the different foums here. NEI under it's current management doesn't get many good reviews. Seems they have a lot of problems and quality is the main one.
When Walt owned it the moulds were 1srt class but the new production is not up to the old standards as far as I know. Seems to have been a lot of complaints about the current owners.....Wes

the first post link by GLL says it all.

I still stand by what I wrote in that post too.

I'm with GLL and Blammer.
I have a number of moulds cut by Walt and love them. Walt made NEI a marquee brand. The ham fisted monkey cutting moulds now makes a mockery of Walt every time he touches tools.

Save your money, buy elsewhere.

I am a fan of current MIHec and NOE mouds. Big time fan.

However, Lee has a nice six cavity (I MUCH prefer Lee's six cavity moulds over his two cavity ones) for .38 Special or .357 Magnum - it is the 158 RF. It is an excellent design, inexpensive and readily available.

FWIW

I only have two NEI moulds. They are both aluminum, and both were made in within the last three years.
I am quite happy with them.

Thanks for the input. those NOE molds look good if he makes a 4 in 358 150 or so I will try one

Don't know why anyone mentioned him but a forum member BAbore makes some of the nicest molds I've seen. I've only got one so far but it is pristine and Bruce is a SUPER guy to deal with. He made me a 3-cav 462, one cav gas check, one cav PB, one cav gas check with HP for around $150 and he delivered in two weeks..............

Nicest mold I've got so far and I'm saving for more.............
