New Bullet Mold

[Walt]

I ordered a 4 cavity mold from Accurate Molds about a month ago and it came in over the weekend. It's an aluminum mold which weighs about the same as a traditional iron 2 cavity mold. I have half a dozen other Accurate molds and I can't say enough good about them. They heat up quickly and when they're at normal casting temperature the bullets literally fall out of the mold. Very nicely made, I like this one, my first aluminum 4 cavity mold so much that I'll likely order others.

I really like and have cast and loaded Lyman's 358156 for years but I wanted a gas check bullet that was not a SWC. From left is a 358156, then Accurate's 36-160G. On the right is Lyman's 358665 which is very similar to the Accurate bullet except that it's a plain base design and has a much larger grease groove.

I love a good mold. I have several of Veral Smith’s molds that were easy to use.

That looks a lot like what Veral used to make.

Although Veral made some fine molds, I found him to be a cantankerous old poot. I had ordered a 325 gr mold for my .454 Casull with the understanding that it would include the top punch. It didn't and I had to pester him for a couple of months before I finally received it. In the meantime I had to use a top punch with a flat face to size the bullets and I doubt they came out as concentric as if I had used a fitted top punch.

Walt, nothing but good things to say about Accurate Molds -- and the two or three Arsenals have been very nice as well.

I've got a couple of them and they are fantastic. Ordered a hollow-base .38 wadcutter mold a couple-few years ago (to use in 1851 conversion cylinders), and they work great!

I have a pile of Accurate molds and all are excellent. Haven't ordered any since the ownership change, glad to hear they are still doing good work.

Yep, Accurate makes great moulds, Arsenal makes great ones. My only complaint about the 6-cavity Lees moulds is they don't make them in enough styles. I guess I am just easy to please.

Moping around here with a wounded wing that isn't gonna' let me cast anything for a few weeks yet.
