I don't know who makes the "best", but I use LEE molds for all my casting. They are aluminum so they heat up faster and throw better bullets faster than steel molds, and they are reasonably priced as well. IMHO.
I also use Lee moulds for .45, 54 and .58 cals. They throw a nice ball with very little sprue and are very consistent weight wise. Once I get everything set temperature wise and start rolling I get very few culled balls. You can buy more expensive moulds but for balls the Lees are top notch. The only problem I ever had with a Lee mould was a 500 gr .45 caliber double cavity that somehow warped and would not close fully on the bottom. I still have it but don't know how to fix it.I agree with 16gauge,:agree:for the price Lee is the best bargin. I have a 490 and a 445 mold that work just great. :imo: :results:

I had one Jeff Tanner made up for a non-standard sized ball. The mould, as received had issues and needed repair before being usable. I was able to do that. Others have been happy with them and I would probably buy another. But, unless special sizes are needed the Lee is probably the most popular, at least in America.Has anyone tried or used the Jeff Tanner molds? They look of good quality but not sure about the brass?
