Included in a box of left over reloading supplies from an estate was half of a 2 cavity iron mold. It is the half drilled for the sprue plate. The only marking on it is 429. Looks like a Lyman 429215. Does anybody need this?

If you cast real fast it will make a great boolit.:kidding:

Wonder if you can fold it in half and make a complete single cavity :-)

Surely somebody has a dinged up one that needs that half.

Come on guys this should be an irresistable challenge for you hobby machinists here to duplicate and make the other half of this mould to match. LOL I dont know how to change font to purple.

Cut it in half between the two cavities, align the cut off part with the other, and voilą, a complete single cavity mould!

Bought some molds off a guy last year, had half of a 429421 in the box

Delighted to see a good idea coming from the deep north. Already looked at this, but it will not work as there is only 3/32" separation between the cavities.

But do you have the RIGHT half?
