I finally broke down and bought a mold for that Lyman 300-grain .45-90 bullet. The latest iteration of it is the 457191 and it's made today as a bevel-base, but I was rooting around on evilBay and found an old Ideal 456191 that casts a flat-based bullet. It came in under 50 bucks with shipping and all, which was nice. I'm not used to paying close to half a c-note for an old single-cavity mold, but you do what you gotta do sometimes.

Now if I only had that same mold with a hollow-point pin...

Sounds like a cool set up. I've got a drawer in my craftsman toolbox devoted to molds. Several are Lee's with integral handles so they take up a buncha room.

That's great idea. I wish I had space to put one of those somewhere. I'd be happy to just store them by caliber, much less brands. The only option I have is to make an existing shelf into storage areas that I can partition in to cubbies. Also would like some protection for the molds from dust, etc.
If I can figure out how to post pictures I wish to show you how I store CB's. They are those ole flip file cabinets that have drawers 1.5" in depth, 8" wide and 2 feet long. Coolest thing ever for CB's. There are about 25 drawer per unit and I have 2 stacked on top of each other.

...my wife bought me a mechanics tool box to organize my bullet moulds in (as an anniversary present). I have them organized by brand and number of cavities.

I can't find dang molds... (reply)

that I'm looking for. That's probably an indication of too many. I'm thinkin of making cubby holes for each caliber so's I can get 'em down to at least the caliber I'm needin.

No such thing as "too many" (reply)

Like Boge said, "I only need one or two more....".

Never have too many, just some you don't use as much as (reply)

As I like to say about guns, pocket watches and geetars... (reply)

...I only need ONE more!

How many bullet molds is too many?

AaronB — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 21:04:49 +0000

I was just wondering, because I've got a drawer full of them in the shed, but I keep on seeing ones I like, or ones I don't have and have been looking for a long time, or ones that look like real bargains.

I'm not sure at what point I'll decide that I have all the ones I want.
