Bullet Mold Porn ✊💦

I had enough of one of my LEE molds this weekend. Last time I used it, it cast great. This Friday, I threw away 90 out of 100 bullets. I can't get the temp right, might be getting too hot for bottom pour. I drop the bullets and the nose are not fully solid.

I used the NOE for the first time and it was a dream, I always throw away the first 7 or 8 while the mold gets hot, after that, it drops such nice and clean bullets, I am considering sending them one of the bullets from my BACO mold and asking them to make me a 4 cavity mold.

I love the BACO mold, but the weight gets to me after a while and casting one bullet at a time gets old. Nothing like dropping 4 perfect 396 grain bullets.

Also, I received my first Pedersoli mold for their .547 minie (for the 1857M "mauser"). That mold looks really nice.

If you want custom go accurate. @1919FAN son had a custom made for his 351 self loader. Steel. By far the best bullet mould I’ve ever handled. It was flawless and produce the best looking bullets I’ve ever seen.

I have read the accurate's tolerances are not as tight as BACO.

It was some forum talking about casting, came across it while Googling. (Not cast boolits).

Very interesting. I would love to see some results. Ask 1919FAN about that mould. It’s amazing.

The only one that casts as nice is the H&G 200 SWC he picked up a couple years ago. That thing just doesn’t even make sense how perfect it is.
 
That Pedersoli mold drops some sexy looking bullets. The wooden handle is great for releasing the bullets.

The only problem is I have to hold it fairly hight above the lead, so I am getting used to holding it to the side at a slight angle.
 
I saw this thread and thought about taking photos of all my moulds.
Then I thought about editing all the non Lee pics, cause no one thinks Lee moulds look sexy, and the list was still to long for my ambitions.
So I made a list of them all and probably missed a few.
My BACO moulds are beautiful.
The Paul Jones ones are art work and cast bullets without any lines where the mould halves meet.
The 45 H&G is the most amazing one to cast with, a tap on the hinge pin while opening and the bullets fall out. IMG_1194.JPG IMG_1195.JPG IMG_1196.JPG

Stop teasing us. Pics of your casting cave or it's all BS ...;)

BTW still have your Kawi H2 ?
 
Ordered yesterday, MP mold is already at the BRNIK AERODROM in Slovenia.

Impressed how fast it shipped.

I wonder if it will get here faster than the Dillon caliber change I ordered on 7/4.

No just send em uncoated. Have yet to observe any leading. Shooting the 460 beats up my wrists so after like 20 rounds ive had enough. Its not one of my "high volume " shooters. Ill go back and look at the GC molds.
