Sorry don’t have anything like what your looking for but that is a fun little 38SW what is the mold number on that? I might have to search one out to feed my S&W lemon squeezer.

Ideal 360 302

it was actually intended for .38 Special with subsequent Sizing in whatever Die one felt best, but can come out 361 ish if one does not squeeze the Mould Handles super hard.

Interesting, thanks for the info. Hopefully these will act as bumps for your original inquiry as well.

I dont want to hijack your thread, but i've been looking for this mold too.

i've found this so far:

http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?168023-In-search-of-44-Himmelwight-Mould

it seems that Al at NOE at least has a drawing for it.

also found that you can buy bullets from the original mold at matt's bullets. I bought a box in case I ever needed to send them to someone for measurements

Good Gracious!

"Matts Bullets" has them!

Well, I can hit the ground running with that just fine...

Thanks!

Still be neat to have the Mold though, but hey, ready-mades are a lot less time and work..!

I did feel sure Modern Bond had offered this one way back when, too...

I was able to order mine as cast w/o lube so I could size and PC them.
