New member here but casting for many years.
I have recently acquired many miscellaneous moulds and in this batch are 3 Hoch moulds. I have the model number and bullet cast weight but not sure of the caliber. Hate to cast with them to find out as a couple of them appear brand new.
I plan on placing them on the for sale forum after I can properly identify them.
What I have are-
c1264 480 grain
c500 215 grain
c2324 75 grain which I think may be a 25-20???
Thanks!!!!!
I would think there may be more numbers somewhere on the blocks. No?
Are they Richard Hoch molds or Colorado Shooters Supply? Hoch will have R. HOCH
The SN starting with C may be COLORADO Shooters Supply
Most molds have a date stamped into them as well.
Pictures are a help
Aren't many top pour cavities??

On one side of the blocks, near the bottom, should be a 6 digit string of numbers. Those should approximate the diameter and weight of the boolit that the mould drops.
Example - 311160 should drop a bullet of .311 diameter and 160gr. weight
359255 should be .359 diameter and 255gr. weight
All of mine say R. Hoch on the same side, and are nose pour by design.
Hope this helps!

edit to add: Welcome to the forum!!
I currently own three Hoch molds.
C2775, 430 315, 11/11/93
C3893, 310 200, 1/15/99
C4148, 310 170, 6/22/00
what's the value of R Hoch molds?
