Good evening Gentleman.
I rarely, if ever, post. Am looking for the name and email of a bullet mould maker in Tasmania. Can't find a reference on the web. Have a Mate in Oz building a new rifle. Want to give him a gift of a mould. Here in the States I can't export moulds. Looking to have one made in Oz and shipped to him. Can anyone help?
Thanks, Jakesnake

Cast bullet engineering is the prominent and dominant Australian mould maker.

Thank you Sir. That is the one I was trying to find.

Jake why can't you export molds to Aus? I have received them from the USA.

Although CBE make excellent moulds from what I understand.

Cheer, Chris

Jake:
same question from here too.
What bullet you looking for?
Have you looked at Lee's? They're real good and much cheaper than most. I've got a bunch of six cavities at $50 each.

I'd be willing to mail one over to the guy if someone else is willing to pay the expenses.

George

Here is a portion of a post at Castboolits dealing with the issue.

§ 121.1 -- General. The United States munitions list.
(a) The following articles, services and related technical data are designated as defense articles and defense services pursuant to sections 38 and 47(7) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778 and 2794(7)). Changes in designations will be published in the Federal Register. Information and clarifications on whether specific items are defense articles and services under this subchapter may appear periodically in the Defense Trade News published by the Center for Defense Trade.

(b) Significant military equipment: An asterisk precedes certain defense articles in the following list. The asterisk means that the article is deemed to be "significant military equipment" to the extent specified in § 120.19. The asterisk is placed as a convenience to help identify such articles.

(c) Certain items in the following list are placed in brackets. The brackets mean that the item is (1) scheduled to be moved to the licensing jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce upon establishment of a foreign policy control or (2) in the case of spacecraft and related equipment, the item is under review by an interagency space technical working group. The interagency review will result in a recommendation as to whether an item should be moved to the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce or to USML category XV which was established for this purpose.

*(c) Insurgency-counterinsurgency type firearms or other weapons having a special military application (e.g. close assault weapons systems) regardless of caliber and all components and parts therefor.

(d) Technical data (as defined in § 120.21 of this subchapter) and defense services (as defined in § 120.8 of this subchapter) directly related to the defense articles enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this category. (See § 125.4 of this subchapter for exemptions.) Technical data directly related to the manufacture or production of any defense articles enumerated elsewhere in this category that are designated as Significant Military Equipment (SME) shall itself be designated SME.

Technical data directly related to the manufacture or production of any defense articles enumerated elsewhere in this category that are designated as Significant Military Equipment (SME) shall itself be designated SME.

Although one might argue that a double cavity bullet mould is not subject to the restrictions I am not interested in trying to win that argument with the Feds. So I simply will not take the chance that shipping such a mould out of the US is legal. See specifically section III(d).

Gentlemen,
I'm the new owner (well, for the last 12 months anyway) of Cast Bullet Engineering.
Happy to help make your friend a mould if you require it.

Although, you can very easily ship a mould out of the USA and into Australia. I've done it myself numerous times before I bought CBE.

Regards,
David.

There ya go David.
Thanks for posting this. Too much nonsense about the laws believed.
