I picked up this mold at an auction recently. It's marked 287325. Now I know that the first three digits indicate the resize and not cast diameter, and the last three are the model number. I've looked in a lot of places and I cannot seem to find anything about this particular mold. The cast weight of the bullet is approximately 115gr and appears to be a gas check design. I erred on the title, it's not marked "Ideal", only Lyman. Anyone?

No one? No 7mm experts out there?

Maybe that's a 257325???? The #325 cherry was assigned to the .257. Many of the older Ideal/Lyman numbers were pretty close to illegible. Cast some and see. That's a pretty hard number to find and I expect someone will take it off your hands./beagle

Lyman mold guide lists the 257325 for high velocity 25-20. No listing for 287325.
