    Don't know anything about it... But, throw it my way that would keep my 41 mags happy. Sure beats a 2 holer! Looks like a beautiful bullet.

    Those cavities look like they could be a plain-base version of an NEI two-holer I had a few years back. Shot so well in my DW that I had Walt make me a TC version w/o the wadcutter shoulder for sillywhets. Unfortunately, no longer have either mold: threw in the TC version when I sold the DW to another IHMSA shooter and, later, traded the SWC for something or other.

    Here’s a few that were cast by the original owner. I may melt them down as they have some blemishes plus I’m not sure of the alloy.

    I have never heard of the brand. The cavities look nice, the stamping seems to be angled and looks like it was done by hand. I would guess it is a small custom shop. Does the sprue plate resemble any known manufacturers?

    Grinch; I have an identical mould, but in 45 caliber,250 grain. Bought it in the early 80's from a company in El Paso, Tx, which later moved to another location, with a new name---don't know why original owner sold, nor do I remember the
    name of company. Memory starts to get fuzzy with age, 83. Not much, but a little info for you.

    Looks like an updated version of the Lyman 410032

    I'll bet that mold was made by Walt Melander. He had a machine shop in El Paso in the '60's and later moved his shop to the northwest. He also later made boolit molds.

    Familiar, yes.... I have two from “C-P”, both truncated cones, 6 cavs.... 1 is 358–150 and the second is 451-205.
    They cast well, shoot well, and are obviously quality built.
    They don’t look a lot like my early NEIs from Walt, but they could be... I would like to know more, but came up empty looking for answers a long time ago.

    Do not know the maker but it looks like a good mold. Make some good bullets with them and give them a try.
