RE: Bullet Molds

I would machine the block out of 12 L 14 steel, it is one of the best free machining steels available to you! It is also a steel that is used by some of the other professional mold makers. I am a machinist and I have great familiarity with this steel. A higj machinability fsctor is important for proper mold surface/cavity finish. I would machine any tools you intend on case hardening out of 86L20....it will case harden beautifully due to its nicke content.The tools could ne mastered by you, then the CNCing jobbed out cost effectively....the molds dont really require CNC work......
