I have only been casting since December but here is what I have learned and experienced.

If you talk to or email Tom at accurate molds he will make you a mold of any caliber and design you want at a very reasonable price.

I have the aluminum 230-D and so far it has been a great mold. Slug your barrel and find a lead source then email Tom and let him know what you need. He is great to work with.

The lead that you cast from will determine final size and weight of your boolits so having this info when ordering a mold is handy.

I have had good luck so far with the lee sizer dies that go in a single stage press and using their tumble lube.

If you go with the Lee sizing and lubing system you will save what ever it costs you to buy the sizing dies and press.

Do get a lee 20# bottom pout pot. They do have their quarks but they work fairly well.

Here is a great forum to search for more details and info on your new addiction.
