Hey! I bought a NO. 16 H SAECO Custom Precision 3 cavity .356 on the other place. Little surface rust on the cavities, but nothing that worries me. The rocket scientists didn't know what it was. Got it for $41.00 total (cost + shipping). I think its was a steal. Anyone use or have any info on this mold? I'll cast it with WW and Lyman #2. See what it does.

I have an old Cramer 16h 140 grain WC that is a 3 cavity. I cast hundreds of pound of them back in the late 70's and early 80's. I don't recognize the 16H as a SAECO number, but if what you have is a WC, then I think you are in for good times.

Here are pictures. Looking at the Cramer Molds on Castpics reference--kinda like the 032 for .38 Super (127gr). That's what the old boy advertised it as--he may have had a box with that on it. (38 Super)

Well worth $40. IMO.

I have a nice older Saeco 3c that cast great boolits it's just the right weight for me and with 3c you can produce some lead.
