If you can't find someone on the forum try NOE. When my old hickory hatchet hand was becoming a toothpick I bought the NOE and it is about as good as they come.
dukein florida was selling them awhile back, you can also get a wooden hammer handle from a hardware store, or keep an eye out at thrift stores, i have found wooden mallets there cheep.
if you are ever being chased by a taxidermist, don't play dead
Mine is a Hobbit walking stick from Scarborough Faire. No, I did not attend. A gift from my daughter. I think a fishing "billy" would work.

If you live in an northern area, a broken hockey stick works well.
They're scattered around hockey rinks in the winter.
It's what I've used for decades.
Jacketed bullets, what a relic. A throwback to the twentieth century. Real men shoot cast.
A lifetime of happiness in five simple steps:
Kiss French, ride German, shoot Swiss, eat Italian, drink Scotch.
I use a small rawhide mallet. Not as brutel on the mold.
I use a 8 ounce dead blow mallet. The slim line version. For many years I used a dowel rod with a piece of clear tygon tubing pushed over the working end. the tygon provided added cushion and protected the wood. A hammer handle, dowel, leather mallet, dead blow mallet all work well. something 8"- 12" in length and comfortable to hold
6 or 7 years ago, I bought an 8# sledge with a damaged (hickory) handle off a yard sale for $2. Got a new handle from hardware store and cut the old one into 10" lengths. Still using the first one with two in reserve.

I used a hatchet handle for 35yrs. Until it simply disappeared. Bought another, but it wasn't quite right. So then I tripped (literally) the poly mallet I bought my Kids for their Camping tent 30yrs ago.
Worked great. 2" head, 12" handle, although it sheds a tiny bit.
I am looking at the N.O.E. striker.
My rawhide mallets are 20oz, too heavy, 4oz too light.

My goodness, It never crossed my mind that anyone would have to BUY a mould tapper. I guess I continue to learn even at my advanced age!
Take a kid along
Been using a tabacco stick cut to about 12 inches for about 10 years now. Most older one are good solid oak.
I use a plastic mallet, just guessing that its in the 6-8 oz weight range. Been using it since the 60's and expect it will be here after Im gone.
A rawhide mallet works the best for me!

I have a piece of sledge hammer handle about 10 inches long. I drilled a 3 inch deep 3/4 inch hole in one end and filled it with coww and taped it with aluminum tape. Works just right the lead added just enough weight to get the job done.
I have a pile of broken hammer handles that work just fine.
I use a glove on my hand to cut the sprue. Use a hammer handle to tap the hinge bolt for sticking bullets.
I used to use a broom stick handle, cut to about 12". The problem I was having was that the wood slivers would be everywhere, and eventually, you'd have to replace the stick. To cure that problem I cut a piece of 3/4 EMT (gray) pvc pipe, about 5-6" long & hammered it on the stick. For some reason, sch. 40 white plumbing pipe seems to be more brittle. Been using this same stick for several years now, without any problems.
Used a broken chair leg for years when it started to break I got a small nylon faced hammer.
