I'm going to bid on another mould on ebay. It's another .54 Thompson Maxi ball mould, exactly the same mould I just bought from floodgate. I figure it will speed up the loading process by letting one mould set while pouring the other. I've read where that's a process many use here.

The only bidder goes by flyfishingxstream and I can't find any reference to that in any thread here. I never was able to find the "ebay screen names" thread I was told existed at one time.

if it ain't you, I'm goin in...........

WEll.. I got the mould.. it has a different number then the Tompson I'm casting with, so perhaps it's one of the other companies that built em for Thompson, or an earlier/later version... should be interesting once it arives......

piwo,

This is the only place that I have found that lists "alias's" -

maybe we should get the list updated or see if we can make it a sticky somewhere easier to find??
BTW, congrats on the score!:drinks:
Later,

COOL.. thanks Don for finding the list.

I got the mold yesterday, and just as advertised, "New, from old stock". it looks like it was made in the 1960's or before. The box is as faded as could be... and the darn mold hasn't had a drop of galena touch it! It's immaculate.. :drinks:

I'm obssd(obsessed)1958 just about anywhere I go on the 'net. With the way my memory is going, I can't make it too complicated!!:roll:

Cast some boolits with my new mould today. It mikes out at .002 larger on all the bands over its "twin" that I have been shooting with the past few weeks. Other mould has boolit head at .543, and two lower bands at .538. New mould casts .545 at the boolits head, and .540 on the two lower bands. Thing is, seems to cast about two grains lighter. I didn't get to measure "inside the bands" on the old mould: they're all full of lube!

Slight difference, this should be fun testing.
