Ancient H&G Mold..#50 AND #51 cut in same block..!!!

[sargeny1]

Hi all...Was able to acquire this ancient H&G Mold...has TWO different H&G bullets in the SAME mold blocks...its a two cavity mold with #50 wadcutter and # 51 HOLLOW POINT..!!!! The #51 is Philip Sharpe design for short cylinder 357's....and THIS mold is a RARE Original H&G HOLLOW POINT Mold..!!! The Hollow Point Pin is a home-made repair job...have to fix that..it came to me that way...The outside is a little rough but the inside cavities are sharp and clean...almost new...looks dirty inside since i didnt clean out the carbon from smoking this mold with a wooden match...the bullets shown are from this mold...casts at 143grains with Lyman #2 Alloy..Would like it better if the bullets were a little heavier..say 155-157 grains...these H&G molds are a joy to use..sharp well-filled out bullets and I can hold the weight variation to plus-minus 1 grain with a Lee bottom pour pot..!!!!!

Neat mold!, I picked up an H&G .44 mold that casts a .44 SWC in one side, and the same bullet with a H.P. in the other., both with a special order wider nose profile. The origional pin is with this one, and is adjustable and reversable to a larger/smaller pin. Was the pin adjustable on yours after de gunking the pin handle? Nice find by the way. Was this one on Ebay? I think I recognize the custom pin "covering".
