Yes, I have one NEI mold from before the origional owner passed away and they were in Oregon.
I heard there was some problems for a while untill they got it back up and running. Great mold, mine is a .32 cal. two cavity with one cavity for GC and the other PB cut with the same cherry so one is bout 15gr.lighter than the other. Enjoy! :D

I probably have at least a dozen from them. Joel and Patty are good people to deal with. Patty's father, Walt started the business and Joel & Patty took over when Walt died about 5 years ago.

They will make you about anything you want. Their moulds use RCBS handles. I always get their aircraft aluminum blocks, usually 3 or 4 cavity. Good stuff! I have cast many, many thousands of bullets from their moulds and they hold up real good but..............I am an experienced 35 year caster and know how to keep a mould from getting out of wack.

They have made me moulds for 40-82, .405, 45-70, 32-20, 30 cal. 32 Spl., 38-55 and others. Is what I like about their line is that they offer calibers that the major bullet mould casters don't, they have many different weights within each caliber, and you can name how many cavities you want.

When you buy from these people, you are helping out a Mom & Pop operation, which is how I like to spend my bucks-------------Sixgun

I got my first mold from them over a year ago ! It's a 114 grain GC mold for my 25-36 Marlin ! This ones a 6 cavity !

Then a month or two ago I got a mold for my old 444's in this one it has 2 caivites for a 310 GC and three for a 330 grain GC !

They both work great for me !

Just one small snafu ! They will tell you they'll have the mold to you in 2 -3 weeks ! Both mine took about 2 months !

I also get aluminum molds from them !

I've got a few that Walt made when he was here locally. Sure miss being able to just drive there and talk with Walt before figuring out what I wanted. I've heard good things about his daughter and son in law, but haven't ordered anything since they moved the operation out of state.

Thanks for the recommendations.
I believe I will send some business that way.

Keep in mind that their molds do not drop oversize bullets. Order the size you want.
Kind regards,
