Some good looking shaped bullets there Dave.
Will be interested in the performance and loads for the .404cal ones. I cast 400grainers from my Hoch mould and size to .425 for my .404 and have also cast 350grainers from Von Gruffs mould. They perform very well.
Hate to mention it but out of curiosity your bullets look to have been cast slightly cool (some wrinkly showing in the photos and bullets bands not so sharp edged). Is this intentional on your part? You do say that you run 2-3 moulds at once, just wondering if they are cooling a little quickly. I do find it hard to get everything at the right temperature but once I get in the groove I generally cast towards a little frosting on big bullets. They fall from the mould well and size perfectly in the Lyman 450 lubrisizer.
Of course as always the proof is in the pudding and if they shoot well then that's all that can be asked when casting bullets. Good luck with your loads and please keep us informed.
