    .678 RB Mould

    I just got one from Bob Elka. Absolutely, the best. I cast a bunch today. The second ball out of the mould was perfect. Cast 100+ in an hour or so. Only one reject in the batch. $125.00 plus shipping and worth every penny.

    Jim,

    RCBS handles work, both right and left handed, that is if Lefty want to mold some.

    Elkas molds are of the highest quality mold, thick sprue cutter, and the ball comes out with a very tiny sprue spot on it. Bob will make the mold in whatever diameter you desire.

    All and all well worth the cost.

    Phil
    Regards,


    Phil Spaugy

    Sounds good although Lefty hates bullet casting. Keeps saying he does most of the work

    Thanks Phil.

    i have over 200 molds of all brands shapes and sizes and bobbys mold is the best one out of the bunch. they fit large rcbs, lyman or lee production handles. the sprue cutter is the thickest of any mold i have. this makes the ball fill out. there is almost no sprue at all. the line up pins are steel and are huge. bobby makes these molds out of steel on cnc equipment and can make them in most any size you wish. i have a number of custom steel molds that run over 200 bucks each and bobbys molds are every bit the equal or better than these. his price of $125 is a steal for what he gives you.
