    Looks like more of a 'Clyde' to me.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    Not a 429336. That one don't have a crimp groove or at least mine don't./beagle

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

    Definitely that one.

    Thanks for the heads up. I thought all H&G 503 were three equal driving bands. When I am lookin on ebay I'll be looking close.

    What was the point naming the mold or naming the bullet , Unfrosty the not a snowman , or not a keith , and even the H&G man missed it funny , but should we all post guess this bullet , did not even compare it to lyman 429421 , but with all the custom 44 mag bullet molds and not even shooting them anymore . Nice looking bullet , frost not needed , as to being spoiled by good molds that is a fact NOE MP and Arsenal are all on shelf along with others I do not feel left out on quality compared to H&G , a good mold and one that is accurate is not dependent on name .

    So, unless I am not interpting your post correctly, you are saying as long as the bullet shoots well brand, number, name is unimportant. Am I correct or incorrect in reading your post?
    Please excuse my ignorance.

    Yes name is unimportant i have 20 dollar lee molds and 120 dollar accurate molds and both work just fine.
    Those who would trade freedom for safety deserves neither and will lose both

    I never meant or said anything implying anyone was ignorant , I was actually poking fun along with those giving the bullet a name , I did imply that if a given style that is commonly referred to as a keith shoots well brand and number and name to me do not matter , I have quite a few molds in that style , and last few years I do not cast or shoot them , as I commented even the person who has a 503 missed the guess , and with all the variations and makers it is a guessing game .

    Interpreting posts is sometimes a strange thing as one knows what one is thinking as typing but it does not always come out the same to others reading it , I am not a collector of molds or reloading shooting stuff , it is all for the shooting and sooner or later I may go back to loading 44 , and then the bullets already cast will get loaded and new ones cast .

    "Clyde"? Im not seeing it, looking closely at the dainty narrow top band with the heavier base band, Definitely a "Bonnie"!
