    Ideal 199 mold?????

    I have a Ideal mold marked 199.
    It looks to be a hollow base wad cutter.
    Maybe 38 cal.
    Anyone have any idea the size and weight.

    The three numerals are not the mold size or design #. That is the tracking number to keep the two halves of the mold together in manufacturing, I believe. There should be two sets of three numbers on the other side of the mold to describe the size and reamer #.

    The old classic .38 HB wadcutter. Shoots good at moderate velocities in the .38 Special. Do you have the base plug?/beagle
