Bullet Molds

[Dave Roelle]

Materials are pretty easy to aquire in the sizes needed for BPCR molds---------so that hurdle is easy

just guessing materials 25/30% of total cost

squaring up and settin pins and pivot holes probably 70% of labor cost

sprue plate perhaps 20% of labor cost


cavity tools perhaps 2 or 3% they will spread over many molds

cutting the actual cavity CNC mill----------perhaps 10% of the labor cost

the competition builds quality molds for say $140

should be pretty easy to see if there is a business here

i'm guessing that "the other guy's" are spreading their capitol machine costs over work other than molds-

finally "labors of love" need only satisfy the owner concerning raw profits

have fun Stephan----the learning is the fun part
