I have a mold on ebay and I think it might help it sell if I knew what it was exactly. Since I described it as well as I could in the auction I am just going to share the link, I hope that does not violate and forum rules. As it says, I am selling off stuff hoping to reach a goal for a down payment on a house (trying not to need to sell off some items I really like, my skeet shotgun and my old tournament paintball gun, but if they need to go so be it). So help a new guy out, help me identify this mold so I can get the most cash out of it.



ebay description:

I received this mold in a lot of reloading equipment I was given. I have no use for it and am trying to scrounge up money for a down payment on a house soo here it is for your consideration. I know nearly nothing about this mold, I measured two bullets it dropped and found them to measure .452 around and weigh 250 grains (well 243 and 242 but I am guessing the mold is a 250 grain mold and the bullets are a lighter alloy but I could be wrong). The only markings on the mold are 588 (must be a mold identification number).

If anyone out in ebay land knows more about this mold please let me know so I can update this, and hopefully get a few more dollars for a down payment (my favorite shotgun is on the line if I can't raise enough cash otherwise... the things we will do for our children, the kid needs a yard more than I need to shoot skeet).

Thanks for the look!

The pictures are way too small for proper identification.

And there is no link to the sale. eBay won't mind!

As for the link, I tried that and it was deleted, forum rules I guess.

Maxi-ball mold for muzzleloading rifles. Maybe a Thompson Center .45 cal?
