    What kind of mold do I have?

    I need help identifying a 4 cavity Saeco mold in 358 cal. It drops a PB SWC around 160 grs or so.

    The only model number I can find is on the sprue plate and it says:
    Saeco Custom Precision NO. 050

    There is one grease groove on the boolit.

    The handles have Scovill Made in USA EE on the brass caps of the handles.

    Thank you for your information

    Sounds like the same boolit I have in an old Saeco 2 cavity mold. Kinda a copy of a Keith design.
    Excellent shooting boolit by the way.

    Do you have pictures?

    SAECO #382 on left is a 150 gr PB SWC. Casts WW + 2% tin @ 149 gr.
    On the right is SAECO #388, a 160 gr SWC, mine as shown here is a BB but a trip Erik Ohlen changed it to PB. It casts WW +2% tin @ 161 gr.
