I just got word that Paul Jones has passed away. Made the finest molds I ever used.
That’s sad news. He was the Harry Pope of boolit mould making. An infinite capacity for taking pains.
His little ad in the shooting pubs was a classic. The slogan was, “When You Care Enough To Send The Very Best—Down Range.”
I have 2 of his moulds and confirm they are Rolls Royce! RIP
Hold Still Varmint; while I plugs Yer!
Rest in peace
...Speak softly & carry a big stick...
Aye R.I.P. Sir.
I once sold a Paul Jones mold to....Paul Jones.

Sad News
I bought quite a bit of star stuff from him back in the day.
That is too bad. Paul was a great guy. I would call him about a mold and the conversation would turn into something else and we would solve the world's problems. It has been some years since he shut down his mold business. I am sorry to hear he passed. Thanks for letting us know.Originally Posted by Tom Trevor

I have a number of Paul Jones Molds. I put him at the top of the class of custom mold makers. Sad to hear he has passed away.
