Tom does amazing work and this mold lives up to his reputation.
Tom's molds are a work of art. They're almost too pretty to cast with....I said almost. I have a new one coming from him in the next week or so. Looking forward to it. Hope yours works as well as it looks, as I know it will.

I just got another from Tom today .432250K made out of brass. What can I say except incrediable work Tom. I have owned multiple cavity molds from other manufactures that required the bullets to be sorted by weight because they varied 1-2 grains. Tom's mold work is increadble that I cannot tell the diffrence between the bullets since they are all so consistent.Quote:

What mold number is it?
It is 360 125T the only reason this mold is not brass is because I did not pay for it. Technically it belongs to my boss, He buys the stuff and I load the stuff and get to keep 50% of what I load, and he buys the lead as well.
It seems to me that once the brass mold is up to temp, it holds the temp a little more constantly. The down side is the weight. But they make awesome bullets and are easy to work with, so for me I prefer brass.
Well here are the first bullets with the new mold. It is incredibly hard to cast by a single light bulb that is about 20 ft away as you can probably see by some of the bullets. Oh well the nice thing is that its easy to fix your mistakes.
Looks like two calibers to me. One new mold?
There are two different calibers there. I tried to edit the post but but my computer is not cooperating. The larger is from a older brass 45 call mold I also bought from Tom. Your lube works awesome by the way.
i am in agreeance with bullshop.
the one's on the right look much larger?
i am wanting a new mold and may have to go with an accurate, especially since none of the shelf brands are around

Here is a bullet from my new .32 90 grain mold from Accurate. From the first batch so not as nice as they will get, was just trying it out.
Tom does good work...........seems like he is busier these days though as his turn around time has doubled in the last few months to 4 weeks which is still very good. I have one on order now and..............it should be half way there according to his website. [smilie=w:
He may be taking some well deserved time off
I think he is probably so busy right now, he does not know if he is coming or going. How he manages to put out such a nice product in a timely matter baffles me. I was expecting the normal two week turn around when I bought mine, it did take a little longer and it is well worth it.
white eagle, you could put the man into a vacation I suppose. :)Quote:
