Product Information

All SAECO moulds are machined from solid cast iron blocks one cavity at a time. Using the same cutting tool for each cavity on digital equipment guarantees that each cavity duplicates the previous one. The steel sprue plates are held firm against the mould blocks by high-temperature spring washers to insure uniform bullets with square bases. Mold handles not included.

SAECO #22498 22 cal SP Top Punch Recommended, Sold Separately.

WARNING

Melting and casting lead objects will expose you and others in the area to lead, which is known to the State of California to cause reproductive harm. For more information go to - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.See instructions on Reducing Exposure supplied with product.

Fantastic 22cal mould and Customer service

By Josef W. on Feb 04, 2025
Including this mould, I own 7x 22cal bullet moulds (Lee, RCBS, Lyman, M-P). Like a few others, the mould I received from Grafs had the same issues. One half was slightly smaller/larger than the other leaving a distinct seam that was sized (0.226") more heavily sized on one half than the other. This is manufacturing defect, not an issue for Grafs. I reached out to Redding Reloading, shipped them the mould with a sample of cast bullets. They evaluated my mould and shipped me a newly cut replacement. This is a $200 mould, it cost me $16 to ship to them, so it isn't that big of a deal. If you have an issue, contact the manufacturer.

After a quick cleaning and really quick casting session, the mould is consistent between the halves (.220" nose and .226" driving bands). With my alloy, the bullets weigh in around 61.2gr. These will be used in a super 14 TC Contender 223rem. This mould is heavy as it is iron and the cavities are small compared the block. When brought up to temp, it holds it heat rather well even when casting in freezing temperatures. I used a hotplate to preheat the mould.

There may have been a batch of these #221 4-cavity moulds that slipped passed Reddings quality control. Rather than make a fuss and trashing the product and company (both Grafs and Redding) unfairly, just reach out to Redding and see what they can do.

Its called life and things happen... Do the right thing, if that is not possible, do the next right thing.
