My buddy called this morning and told me he had found some molds for me. One was a 4C H&G 68, one was a 4C H&G 130, and the second one was this. I know what it is but can you guess?

Best part is he told me he still has 4-5 more H&G molds to locate.

Just this week I was given an RCBS 45-255-KT mold. It is my first steel mold and I cast 20 or so the other night. The bullets didn't fill out because I didn't have the mold hot enough, but they do look similar to yours.

I just took a look at my mold. I'm wrong, the middle band on your bullet has very square shoulders. The middle band on mine are slightly tapered. Also the nose of your bullet has more round than mine does.

Close, so very close.

It's a mold company that's no longer in business but their molds are still made by another company.

Nope. Not an Ideal.

It's an Ohaus 44-245 K.

The blocks are smaller than RCBS blocks. The side walls on this mold are thin! But she casts like a dream.
