deanflute 550 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 What is the best mould to get for making lead ammo? Lets just say I've acquired some lead from work so was thinking about melting it down to make some. Is it worth doing or better just to buy the ammo in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Try one of them lee moulds and tell me its not wuick i thought the same but they are decent. I also got a 12 shot new forest mould but prefer to use the lee moulds in all honesty. Or just buy hexnuts n pour lead in the middle lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barrywhite 282 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 i have got the fishing weight mould 12mm .its ok but the ammo is not 100% round you have to tumble in a tin can to smooth them out a bit . I would think about a round bullet mould to get perfect round ammo .when i shoot 10mm and 12mm lead it is not as accurate as steel bbs . my lead shot is not perfectly round . I do not have a bullet mould but I do think about it from time to time . I shoot steel bbs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Devon Minnow 152 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 You get what you pay for. Yes you can make a lot in a short time with the cheap ones off ebay but you will spend more time trying to tidy them up. I bought two of them off ebay and bin both of them absolute carp! Had Lee moulds for 15years and they have never let me down yes slower but you get a precision ball ever time no need for trimming. Try www.henryfrank.com he has a large selection of moulds including LEE. He has a lee multi shot .33 cal mould for around 50 pounds. Or try jt-bullet-mould.co.uk if you what a specific size.
