Scored a virgin Ideal mould

[DLCTEX]

I bought an Ideal mould off Ebay at what I thought was a steal. It looked pristine in the pic and arrived in mint condition. It has never been cast with and has no rust. It's too pretty to cast with, I think. It's a 452-374 225 gr.RN. Is there a collector value to Ideal moulds, or should I just cast with it?

Cast with it, I have a twin to yours and it makes beautiful boolits

It was the most commonly available mold for 45 acp in the 225 gr rn.

Use it. It's one of the most common moulds that Lyman made......but, it is also one of the better designs as well./beagle

Are you trying to say that you have a mold you've not cast with? That's like having a gun you've never fired. Yeah, right.

Of course use it, that's what it was made for. :mrgreen:
