Thanks runfiverun. That is a good reference. Any way to find out what they are worth? I may have to buy a couple of guns to use them.

I tried to print that mold chart out and it didn't work, but I found this one that prints well.

the 311410 is a 130gr plain base mold could be used in the 30 carbine or make a good low velocity 30 cal rifle mold.
the 358091 is a copy of the H&G #50 i use it in 38 cases in my dan wesson with only the bottom lube groove filled [it likes that lube you sent me btw]
the 410459 is a classic 41 mag keith boolit that you have no use for and need to send to me.
the 323470 is a lightweight 8mm mold i use it in my lebel and it does fair in my model 700 but has to be seated a bit deep for it.
401633 [the last number might be an 8] if it is an 8 it has two weights 175 in plain and 155 in hollow point and is a t/c shape.
the 356634 looks like a 130 gr truncated cone for most likely the 9mm as it has no crimp groove.
452374 is a 180 gr very large hollowpoint for the 45 acp,or a 225 gr [rn ball ammo copy]
the H&G i don't know but the rcbs is definately another 45 acp mold.

i'd say you got some molds from a early 1970's caster as those would be pretty popular calibers at about that time.
except for the 40 cal molds unless he had a 401 [herters] power mag or sumthin.

According to Tom's list, the 310 H & G is a 125 grain 9mm bullet and should be very useful in a9mm semi-auto./beagle

the 410459 is a classic 41 mag keith boolit that you have no use for and need to send to me.


Amen, Lamar!
