Did you make molds for Cast Performance?

What's the deal with them?? I've bought bullets from them for years and someone tells me they sold out! I'm thinking I want to do it myself now!!

The capitalistic dream is what happened.

Kelly and Rene sold the business to Mike Rintoul of Grizzly Cartridge.

Kelly and Rene had machines for casting bullets.  They designs are based on Veral's work, but Veral did not make the molds.

Veral made a mold for my .500 that throws better bullets than I used to buy from them.  I encourage you to have Veral build what you want.

  Thank you, guys!   But Kelly never bought molds from LBT.  The previous owner bought the only LBT molds, the last ones being those used originally to make the Federal Cast Core bullets, now called Premium Hunting Ammo.

 Any they will only get close on target, sometimes!
