Sarco question

[GOPHER SLAYER]

I have a three cavity SAECO mold with the #402 on it. It is obviously a 357 something but I would like to know what. I tried the SAECO website but it was no help. Can anyone tell me what the number means?

If memory serves, SAECO was purchased by Lyman; I could be wrong but I think that's accurate. You might try contacting them.

I buy parts from Sarco.

I don't think the #402 has any special meaning to be decoded by it's number...It's just a designation. you'll have to find a saeco chart that shows all the calliber,weight,profiles, ect.
An example i could give is if you go the to ballisticast website and look at their mold charts it gives a #xxx designation than the info for that mold, without the chart the designation is useless.

I find a 420 but not a 402.

The 420 is 44 cal.

SAECO is owned by Redding.

Odd those descriptive numbers for SAECO.

I have a # 385 four cavity mold and it's for the 38 Special/357 Magnum. It casts a virtual duplicate of the military M41 RN projectile.

Perhaps this is what you are looking for?

There is an older Saeco mold chart out there from the 90's that has some different numbers, but I can't find it now. I used it to figure out a #371 Saeco mold.

Here are some pictures of the mold in question. I bought the reloading gear of my friend from his daughter after he had passed away. He had some years earlier built a .357 MAX on an old rolling block action. The work was poorly donel. The chamber had been poorly cut so he abounded the project. I knew he had sold the rifle but had no idea he still had cases and molds for it. He usually gave everything away with the rifle. As I said I bought the gear much later. I have other SAECO molds and I must confess their numbering system is confusing to say the least. I appreciate everyone's help. On this sight, you need but to ask. I just tried to post the pictures but the sight will not let me. When I try, a notice pops up saying this page cannot be accessed. I am able to post them everywhere else and I was able to do it here until now. More problems and my air conditioner just gave up the ghost. Oh well. Thanks again.
