Over the years I have accumulated maybe a dozen molds from the long ago company of Lachmiller. These are manufactured very well, and cast very well too. I have a few that are new old stock. The fit and finish is incredible. Anyone else have similar experiences. Here are three at the bench now, 45-200 SWC, 38-148 WC, and 38-170 RN. The 38-170 RN is not even marked for caliber. Nice thing about the 38 molds is they cast in the .360” + range and I can size them to .360 for the S&W Victory models. Bruce

some years ago I acquired three of these. one in 45 one in 44 and one in 243 3cav. they are very fine molds and I have found them to make great bullets with the exception of the 243. the blocks were not properly aligned with the cavities when the alignment pins were done. have been thinking of making it into a core mold for 30cal. these were in the original boxes and (old) new when I got them.
