Can anyone tell me the weights of these T/C moulds

54 cal #1529
54 cal #7292
50 cal #7290
I think the 50 ca lis the 370gr
2 of these are new in the package and it doesnt say on the front (looking at a picture. The # 1529 is open and looks short. I have searched but cant find info and as they are discontinued (for awhile I bet) T/C's site is no help.
Thanks
Bill

I have an original TC Maxi Ball mould from TC. Interesting thing about it is it's marked Lyman. Lyman made it. I think I have the box too and I'll look at it see what's on it for numbers. You are correct that the 50 caliber is suppose to weigh 370 grains because that's the one I have.

No mold # on it, only a mate or pair # , T/C anodized aluminum .54 maxi mold cast around 410 gr, bought in late 80's, OAL is .905. .50 Lyman mould cast about 370gr.

Not sure of the numbers but I bought a 54 Maxi in the middle 70s for my Renegade and they called it a 425gr mould. I don't have it anymore so no help there. With 80grs of BP it goes right through a deer, no problem.

Ok I found the box. It's marked Maxi-Ball
.50 caliber
370 Grains
No. 729

The mould is aluminum and kind of a gold anodized color and only numbers on the mould are .498 which I assume to be the diameter.

Thanks for the replies. The person selling them also replied indicating that the packages are not marked but an old T/C catalog listed the 50 as 370 and the 54 7292 as 420. however no info on the #1529 other than 54 cal. It looks real short for a maxi.
These are on gunbroker. I just had to put new ball joints and 4 new tires on the truck so my "hobby" money is gone for awhile. If anyone else is interested here are the item numbers (if that is OK. if not delete. I will understand) the prices are very reasonable I think
#1529 54 cal unknown wt 139825852
#7292 54cal 420 gr maxi new in package 139838807
#7290 50 cal 370 maxi also new 139838416
Thanks again for the info.

My Maxi-Ball mould didn't come packaged that way. Mine's in a cardboard box. Here's a picture of it:

I think mine may be older.
