Listed as bullet mould on ebay, doesn't look like a bullet mould to me. No sprue plate.

Mick, looked at the object on ebay. From what I could see, no lube grooves. Could be a mold for fishing sinkers, or jig mold for fishing lures. But I could be wrong. Frank

Only good for six suppository's at a time though! How in the world would you handle the thing?

They show up about once a month on ebay. I posted a link to one last month under the humor section with a note about not rifle launching that type of bullet. I think it was Maven (may be wrong) that grew up in a home with a Vet who pointed out that they were veterinary suppository molds as the ones designed for humans were closer to 30 caliber and those are closer to 45.

All, It IS a suppository mold for humans, not animals. Btw, my parents, grandfather and uncle were all pharmacists at a time when the curriculum included compounding, making suppositories, making ointments and filling toothpate like tubes with them, etc. My father's 6-banger suppository mold (~.45cal.) sits on my reloading bench as I write. With a molten paraffin-beeswax mixture (NEVER molten metal!), you may be able to cast usable "bullets." Sizng them to fit would be a breeze.

Or should I ask!:mrgreen:
A$$ume you don't use a 'nose' punch on these either.:roll:
No doubt this really should be moved to the humor section.:twisted:
