I would like to find a mold to cast bullets for a .348 Winchester. Similar to my 45/70, I intend to shoot cast bullet loads in the .348 at less than full power by a a fair bit.

I would be happiest with a mold that dropped a bullet of 200-220 grains and would prefer a flat point design. If anyone has something they would be willing to sell, please pm me. Otherwise any recommendations are welcome.


Thank you.

I am heavily into ACCURATE MOLDS for the .40, .45, .47, and .50 bores.
Very happy with all those.
I looked at their offerings for the .348 WCF and found they have 7 versions designed specifically for that chambering,
220-grains to 300-grains bullet weights in clip-on wheel weight alloy.
I'll get one or more of these when I get around to it, they all look good to me:

You have to search far and wide to find a more accommodating company than Accurate Molds. Others may be as good but none are better IMO.

Thanks for the replies. I plan to order the 35-220 D. Now if I could just locate some brass....

Start searching now for a .350" sizer as I don't think they are currently in production by Lyman or RCBS.
If you need some gas checks to get started, I think I have some that I can spare.

Definitely look at the custom molds. Be sure to slug your rifle first and get a couple thousands over bore and throat size.

Thank you for the replies. I did get the above mold. Seems to work well but gas checks (Gator) are loose when sized to .350. Sizing to .349 fits the gas checks well but I have not tested side by side for accuracy. I would like to find some Hornaday checks as they may snap on better.

If anyone needs a new sizer the NOE system is pretty slick.
