[garbear]

I just won on fleabay an .358 ideal bullet mold.

Here is th auction.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=310288719697&si=EJKi%252FebakQSE8swNWmrrqXJV%252BBk%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_500wt_949


Anyone use this mold and I assume it will be a great Addition to my boolit molds. I spent 25 plus 6 in shipping total 30.00 hopefully I didn't spend too much money.
Thanks Garbear

What are the numbers on the mould? That will tell a lot. The fleabay info was a bit thin.

[garbear]

Sorry THE NUMBERS 358-432-228

358432 is a wadcutter mould. They were available in either 160 gr or 148 gr.

E-bay say it is a 358432. I have a 4 cav for that boolit.One of the best casting molds that i have.I have never had A gun that liked that boolit.
I sold a single cav just like you bought to another member here and he made a hollow point out of it.
A lot of people like that boolit ,just not me.....Terry

I guess I'll have to cast some to figure out the weight. The boolit design is the 358432. LIsting list weight in the auction. Not overly concerned My 357 shoots the 158 grain boolit rf very well. I hope it is the 148 if I had a preference. I am waiting on a mold in a group buy and I don't know when that one will be done need something to get me by until it gets here.

that mold as stated comes in 148gr,,,160gr,,,.
either way you did good.:twisted::drinks::evil:

I have that in a double, and its my favorite WC mold. The ebay mold is the 160gr as is mine.

[garbear]

I have never shot wc in my 357or in any handgun. I am excited to see how these do. I shoot a ruger sp101 with a 3" barrel. I am going to try and get a mold that cast lighter boolits next in a SW thinking 105 up to a 125 grain range. I'll have this mold and one by MiHec(When MiHec finishes our group buy.) I guess I can't have too many molds.

Use the "Search" function on this board and be rewarded with more information on this bullet than you'll ever be able to absorb. There is a lot of information on it. I have a 2 cavity and a 4 cavity 160 gr mould, but have never cast with either of them.

For the $30 you spent, you got a great deal. It can get frustrating at times casting with a single cavity mold. However, you will get great consistency of boolits.
