I curious about them but do not want to buy the molds without knowing my gun will like them.
Anyone have them and are willing to sell me a few?

A word of caution. It’s illegal to sell bullets you cast. Requires an FFL
Castaway,
Please post a link of where this rcw written?
I dont need an ffl to sell or trade fired cases, dies, molds, lead, why would raw cast bullets be any different?
A few boolits here and there is not what the ATF is worried about. They are worried about the person manufacturing thousands for profit. You should be fine.
Because the law says they are.
There's this new thing called Google. It can answer many questions.

Okay, the Lawyers have chimed in. Now are there any gun guys here that can actually answer the OP's question as I'd like to know about those particular molds also.
I was like "yes, 5 replies on this thread. I can read an opinion by a informed CB Member". But no...
I am gonna go make sure the tags are still on my mattress

sigep1764, the quantity isn’t mentioned. It comes down to letting your conscious be your guide. If they want to prosecute, they can. Maybe someone can send archangel2003 COD.
“Why is this?” you ask. It is because, despite the fact that the bullet is nothing more than shaped metal, it is an ammunition component. And federal law requires you to have an FFL if you are going to ‘engage in the business of manufacturing ammunition for purposes of sale or distribution’. The specific requirement may be found in 18 U.S.C. § 923 which reads (emphasis added):
(a) No person shall engage in the business of … manufacturing ammunition, until he has filed an application with and received a license to do so from the Attorney General. The application shall be in such form and contain only that information necessary to determine eligibility for licensing as the Attorney General shall by regulation prescribe and shall include a photograph and fingerprints of the applicant. Each applicant shall pay a fee for obtaining such a license, a separate fee being required for each place in which the applicant is to do business, as follows:
Per the arguments/regulations presented, that means selling/buying a can of bullets at a yard sale runs afoul of the law. It sure seems like a guy should be able to sell his lead alloy to an acquaintance for testing purposes in the shape most conducive for accurate testing and analysis of said alloy.
All that aside, I wouldn't hesitate to help out a fellow caster as presented by the OP, even if it meant gifting them. Unfortunately, I don't have the design/s wanted.

So if i BOUGHT the boolits I can sell them. If I MADE them I can't. STOOPID STOOPID STOOPID

So above it says "(a) No person shall engage in the business of … manufacturing ammunition"
Lead is not ammunition. A projectile, powder, brass, and primer is.
Make him a gift of a few bullets that way your not breaking the law.

Definition of ammunition
1a : the projectiles with their fuses, propelling charges, or primers fired from guns
b : cartridges
c : explosive military items (such as grenades or bombs)
2 : material for use in attacking or defending a position
No mention of funny shaped things made out of lead.
Archangel, I don't have that particular mold, but I do have an MP 227 75 grain mold that is a similar design. It takes a gas check and weighs about 70 grains in my alloy. I can send you a few that are powder coated and checked, sized to .225-.226 if you'd like.
I believe the 1986 Firearms Owners' Protection Act provides cover for the non-FFL citizen in the example you mention, that I highlighted in red. But if you cross the line into "Engaging in the Business" of selling "manufactured Ammo", without the correct FFL, you are breaking the law.
