I've only seen 1 other tin that was made upside down it was also an IMR can but I think it was brown but if I remember the can like yours was in excellent condition. You have some good powders there.

This is a much older single die type originally designed to operate on a CH swage o matic or C&H H press using half jackets (late 60's I think). I'm assuming one would have to make their own half...

I've got about 22lbs of nickel babbitt #4. About 11 pounds from rotometals and the other is from Castomatic. I don't really have a plan for it so I'll probably sell it so I can buy more soft lead.
True but I sale about 1 a year since I won't pass them up when I see them. One could always post a WTB ad here and I'm sure someone would have an extra one under the bench. I almost always see them...

So the core inside the mould measured at .380. That doesn't sound right to me but I know nothing about Swaging. Anyone have any insight?
Dose anyone recognize this mould? Is this an adjustable wadcutter or is this for making cores to make your own j words? 44-45 is stamped on one side of the mould. Handle is thin. The box it came in...
