    Ideal 457-132 favor por favor

    Anyone among fellow mold enthusiasts who owns an Ideal 457132 in the 475gr?

    I am looking to draw that bullet in TNT software. I've obtained a bullet from a generous caster that was of the larger more common variation in 535gr and have drawn that one out from the bullet sent but would like to check my efforts on scaling down to the 475gr with a bullet cast from an original Ideal mold. Not interested in Lyman, just the old Ideal.

    If you have one I'd sure be obliged. Be out of pocket for 2-3 days but I'll check back in Saturday evening.

    Thanks,
    John
    Best Regards,

    Yodogsandman, thanks for the reply. Had not looked but just did. I created a detailed drawing that is a scaled down version of the 535gr version. I created it in Tom Myers TNT software. It is good as far as it goes but I really wanted to compare it with the original Ideal in that weight. Ideal advertised a 415, a 475 and a 535gr for the 457132. I’ve got a bullet cast from an original Ideal and drew it. Then scaled that down. Before sending that to a mold maker I’m wanting to research the original further. It did not have a parellel boreriding section btw. Starting to look like this one could be impossible to find!
    Best Regards,
    John
