At the bottom of this page is a banner for Castpics.

Castics is one of the best cast bullet info sites on the web and has a huge amount of info on Ideal and Lyman molds. The info your looking for is almost certain to be there.

I cleaned it up and cast a few up the base a lil rough but not to bad. From the weight and sized cast it looks to me an Ideal 358250. Also I noticed that I already had a 358477 but after casting some I noticed that the nose profile is different one is square and one is rounded.

Looks like the 358311 to me

I am sure it is the 358250 also.The reason its beat up is because if its like my 358250 with its square lube grooves it sticks in the mold like its glued in!
it shoots pretty good for me.
