    I have enough-that is until I get a notion to try something different, or when I just can't pass up a good deal at a gunshow, or on e-bay, or on the forum. Have some I will probably never use, but then I have other stuff that I will probably never use as well. Sort of like George Carlins bit about "STUFF"!

    My answer is : more than I need.

    I went out to the garage with calculator in hand to come up with the correct answer as to how many molds I have. Add 3, divide by six and cary the seven.... I have one mold. That's it. After i hit the 30 day waiting period I can make a purchase here and hopefully I'll double my count!

    Moulds are like how I feel about guns. An "ex" brother-in-law once asked "Just how many guns does a man need?" and my immediate reply was "JUST ONE MORE"!

    I have molds for every caliber firearm that I own(15),except 223(couldn't get the boolit hard enough to get any accuracy for the velocity that I considered to be useful ( min.2000fps),and a mold for a 25acp()GT27

    Only have 102 but I have 10 group buys going. I might pick up a few oddballs on fleabay if I can steal it at my price but that's pretty rare. I got a few good ones here at S&S and prices are fair. Gotta be fast though.

    If you know how many you have, you haven't enough. I have 25 (at least) 30 caliber molds, 14 38/9mm, 8 44 molds..., 17 45 molds, 3 38-55 molds, an at least one each in 258, .348, .316, .323. There may be a few more hiding out that I don't recall, in fact, as bad as my memory has become, I'd bet on it. But I only have one mold for which I don't own a gun. But I'm only signed up for 4 group buys. And I haven't bought a mold in months...weeks....days.

    I responded to the poll sometime back and don't remember how many I had at the time. I decided to do an up-to-date inventory the other day.Since I responded to the poll, I've acquired a few more and now have 104.

    I would be interested if some would list the different makers of their molds. To start it off, I have listed my molds and their makers. It can get confusing if you have a bunch of molds.

    My list:

    LEE 36
    Lyman/Ideal 15
    MP 12
    NOE 7
    RCBS/Ohaus 11
    SAECO 8
    H&G 5
    LBT 4
    Mountain Molds 1
    Applegate 1
    NEI 1
    Old West 1
    ? 2

    Most(but not all) of the Lee's were GB's. Ditto, for the MP's.

    Just started so I only have one, a 6 cavity Lee TL358-158... will do more. I think I enjoy reloading and casting more than the range time. Thanks to this site for all of the advice -- all has been good and kept me from screwing things up. First 650 I cast turned out like they came off a production line. I'd order more but like everything else.. the insanity will have to stop first...

    That's odd... most of us have molds that we have no rifles for... yet...

    I'm at 50+ molds and working on reducing my inventory...
