Any ideas?

Core mold for making half jacket bullets would be my guess. Mold the cores, then mash them into big gas checks that come halfway up the bullet.

would be for a 44 when using half jaxkets.
it should pour a core in the 230 weight range
i have some of the half jaxkets,and a C&H sizer only not the dies in 44.
the nose punch would fit over the cast one and you'd squish everything up in the die locking it together.
i think wayne the shrink might have a 44 die set..

you could also make some and use a canellure tool to make a crimp groove and a lube groove on them.
or a knurling tool and tumble lube them.
i do that when squishing up some 375 boolits in my 44 swage die.

Thanks guys. Got this in a H&G package deal.
I think I have a set of dies from my grandfathers reloading setup. I know I have some jackets.

What I dont have is a .44 gun.

Yup, I have a 44 set and a 44 Mag. You can get yourself a 44 or you can sell the mold. Frankly, I'd suggest getting the 44!
