I need recommendations on a Keith style mould

I'm wanting to get a 44 Keith mould. I know they are hard to get right now and need some help. Used, Lyman, RCBS, Accurate?

I'm a Lee mould fan but my old (1982) Lyman # 429421 out shoots them all.

Accurate seems to be your best bet for instant gratification (great molds!)

I went with the NOE version 'cuz I wanted the hollowpoint option, but they just did a run - you'll have to ask when they plan to make another.

Ballisti-Cast is the inheritor of the Hensley & Gibbs line, which is where Elmer went after Lyman started monkeying with his blueprints and made him cranky. Their #1103 is therefore going to be the true ancestral heir to the original, unadulterated Keith .44. If you're worried about getting "THE" 429421, this is probably your baby.

You can't go wrong with the NOE since he has it in stock. A good friend has the HP NOE version of that and it is a beauty. Casts well, measures what it should to work in about any revolver, and looks like a revolver bullet should look.

I just got one of the NOE molds and it makes great bullets. They're larger diameter than my other molds at .434". I also have RCBS, Ideal and a Saeco in .44 SWCs which cast a bit smaller than the NOE. PM me if you think you might want a 2 cav. RCBS -- I'd consider letting it go.

NOE IS by far TOP NOTCH! THEIR molds are things of beauty along with great customer service best in the business. AL is great man and puts out great products

RCBS 44-250 K is a real Keith type, excellent design, true to Elmer's intent, very
high quality mold. Highly recommended. MP has had some excellent clones of
H&G 503, also super quality and true Keith design. There are several other
.44 SWC molds from RCBS that are not Keith designs, superficially similar.

Current Lyman 421429s have moved back to flat bottomed lube groove,
good Keith design, after drifting around a lot over the years.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.

Staying true to the Keith design is important to me. If a used deal doesn't come to pass I'll most likely go with the NOE. Is there any difference in handles,I'm going to need a good set, the only moulds I have now are 2 cav Lee?

Get one of those 4-cavity 429421 NOE clones from Al !
Mine drops beautiful bullets with ease and they are priced right!

I have a 4-cavity and a single cavity HP version.

+ another for the Lyman 429421 (I think Mtgun44 got dyslexic on us?) and the RCBS 44-250-K. Both do as well for accuracy and terminal effects, if not better, than any other similar "Keith" design I've tried in my own four 44 handguns and several others.
