I have Lee molds for all my round ball sizes except for .36.  There are also Lyman and T/C molds along with my Brass Tanner.  I also have several Lee bullet molds for several pistol calibers that cast fine shooting bullets.  My favorite are the RCBS rifle molds and especially the Saeco molds which apparently are no longer around.

I've been to Stormrider's house a few times and he taught me how to cast, but that isn't why I'm commenting. It's his chickens that I find amusing, they are quite comical. Plus they lay the best tasting eggs ever.
