Got a couple new molds.
Actually one new mold and one NEW 2 me mold.
This was the 1st mold I have ordered from accurate Molds. Have to say, I think being able to order what you want with out having to wait 6 months for a group buy. May just be well worth the slight premium you have to pay. I have been after a multi cavity mold for my 32s since I got my Single 7. Shooting volume has went up quite a bit. Gave it a quick try this after noon. Got nice bullets from the 1st cast with the mold preheated. Mold is easy casting and they drop out with hardly any effort. Nice mold. It drops them at .315, I will try them standard lubed 1st to get a base line and then powder coat a bunch. 2nd mold is a 4 cavity NEI 120356 came with the handles. Snipped off Ebay for $45 shipped. Handles are pretty beat up, but I can fix that pretty easy. Drops at .357 |

Wow, I've never seen a 5 cav Accurate before. Sweet.
Killer price on the NEI too. You should have lots of happy casting with those!

Yea the 5 cavity option is what tripped my trigger. They only offer it on the Aluminum blocks.
I think I am getting ready to go on a casting JAG soon. See if I cant fill a few coffee cans with bullets. |

I have been buying Tom's molds for a little while now. I am always happy with his work, he does a great job.

I have to admit I am not a fan of the truncated on the 9mm. That's the only 9mm mold o haveand for some reason I can't get them to be accurate, hopefully you'll have better luck with yours. Awesome molds and great prices, congrats

Will see, I have never cast any TC bullets before. This one seems to have a good amount of bearing surface. If not I have a nice 147gr 9mm mold that does. I wish it was a little lighter. I need a good .380 bullet more than any thing else.
