What are your "go to" pistol moulds

A SAECO #069, which is a clone of the H&G #68 plain base 200 gr. mold for 45 ACP
The SAECO #382 (160ish grain SWC for 38/357)
RCBS 44-250-K
And a couple of Accurate molds in 32 caliber that make excellent bullets for 32 ACP & 32 S&W Long

I have molds in aluminum, brass and iron. They all pros and cons.

If RCBS made iron molds with more than two cavities - I doubt I would ever buy any other brand!

9mm - Lee 356-125-TC, Ly 256402
and some RD TL 9mm-135-RF (GC) and Arsenal RD 9mm 135-RF (PB)
357 Mag - *Ly 358156*
44 Spl/Mag - RCBS 44-250-KT, Lee 240-RF 3-crimp groove group buy
45 acp - Ly 452374 and a few others
45 Colt - Lee 452-255-RF, Ly 454190
222 Rem and 223 (12 twist) - RCBS
300 BO, 300 Ham'r, 7.62x39 - *RCBS 7.62-130-SPL*, NOE-146-SP, and NOE 311-152-SP
still looking for a good 300 BO subsonic but for the now the Lee 230-309-5R TL works okay
30-30 - *Ly 311041*, RCBS 30-150-FN
308 Win - RCBS 30-165-SIL
30-06 (O3A3 Mil Bolt Matches) - RCBS 30-180-SIL
30-06 - too many good ones to have a favorite, but on the list are
311291, 311299, RCBS 30-180-FN, SAECO #301, 311184
32 Win Spl - RCBS 32-170-FN
35 Rem - RCBS 35-200-FN
357 Whelen - RCBS 35-200-FN, SAECO 325, *David Mos 358009I*

I'm sure there are a few others, but this is what came to mind when I saw this thread.

Have I ever mentioned that I like RCBS (and SAECO) molds?

I'm now powder coating everything on the above list. Makes for easier bulk storage, cleaner loading and shooting, and the proof is on the target - equal or improved performance.
