Old .357 Yankee brass mold pictures

[relodr36]

I wasn't sure if I could add more pictures to the other thread so I figured I better start another thread.
Thanks again to the fellows who identified these molds!!

This mold,with hollow point pin,weighs 1# 3.4oz - 0.3 oz more than the .44 mold.
This mold also shows the 2 crimp grooves for the .38 Special and the .357 Magnum,similar to the Lyman ideal 358156 gas check mold.

If a moderator wants to attach this to the original thread,it would be appreciated.

It should work fine for you. That does appear to be the original Thompson .357 bullet. You'll want to cast with these molds hotter than you would with a steel mold. Bronze seems to require some extra heat, and when you add a hollowpoint to the mix, extra heat will definitely help with fillout.

I have a similar Yankee and also a Yankee that clones the Lyman 311413. Both make very fine bullets and are easy to cast with. You have a gem and a piece of history./beagle
