A freind has acess ( a freind of a freind as I under stand it ) to a odd ball 38 wad cutter mould , I haven't had a chance to look at the mould yeat
It looks like a 358063
BUT
It casts a bullet designed to have a GC at both ends

I have looked at both the as cast bullets and the after lubed & GC'ed resulting bullet

With a GC on 1 end , with lube it weighs 153 gr with his alloy

I am guessing this is a custom mould
Maybe designed so you didn't have to worry witch end you put the GC on

Why would you want a GC on a target bullet ?

I will try to post a pic if I get a chance

I have a Saeco mould like this, back in the old days of Bullseye shooting a lot of things were tried in the quest for absolute accuracy. If you thought it would give you an advantage you tried it. My mould was used for snubbie loads so I could push that wadcutter about 800 fps from a 2" tube with no leading, a primitive manstopper load. One thing I never thought to try was a G/C on both ends?
