I've found it sounds good in theory, but doesn't work that well in actual use. I'll stick with moulds that have identical cavities.

I wonder about the guy or guys who ordered these moulds. But of course, I picked them up, so who am I to wonder?
The three-cavity is a nose-pour .38 Keith-style, a base-pour .32 SWC and a gas-checked .25 (whether for rifle or pistol, I don't know.)
The four cavity is a .32, a .30, a .50 and a .33 caliber.
Somebody's gun collection was eclectic, for sure. Can't imagine he'd get those .50's shot up at the same rate as the others.

I have a 38 caliber mold from Tom at Accurate Molds, that has both semi wad cutter and wad cutter cavities.
It is a great mold! Would I do it again? Not sure.
Take care

Here's another example yet of a two-fer, an old "IDEAL" from before their having factory Vent Lines, though someone added their own evidently for the .38 Special Cavity...has provisions for Sprue Cutters on both ends...and I added the second one since this picture was taken.

For what it is worth SSK used to offer their molds like a 275gr .41 cal and a .41cal310? two different weights in the same block. Close to the discussion
