    well, it has the large lube groove and squareish ... perhaps this one is the ideal 429421.... i dont believe it to be the heath target 429336 due to the larger lube groove. but what do I know.....

    and I believe the H&G mould was the 503???

    I think it's a Lyman 429421. Not the original but modified with the smaller front band. Still retaining the square lube groove though.

    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    Me too. I would also name him George. I would not squeeze or pet him, though.

    Looks more like an Irving to me.
    Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.

    Thanks to all of you guys who responded. I have written down all of the suggestions and will, in a few days choose a name from the list to name it. I will let all of you know the name I choose.
    Again thank you to all of you. Your time is appreciated.

    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    Why stick with something plain for a name?

    How about "Beelzebub the Slayer" or "Bartholomew the Battering Ram"

    It may be RCBS, the front driving band doesn't look wide enough. But it's not the Lyman 429421. Lyman's version of the Keith Type uses a very narrow front driving band, and rounded lube grooves. Elmer got upset at Lyman for modifying his bullet design. Which was wide front band and squared lube grooves.

    Yes, not a Keith design. Too narrow of a front driving band and rounded grooves. Neither of which Elmer wanted anything to do with.
