View Full Version : Ideal Bullet Mould Numbers

Prior to the upgrade and expansion of the Castpics section of this forum, there was a page where someone had assembled a composite page of all of the old Ideal mould patterns. Does that page still exist somewhere in Castpics or is there some other place one could find such information? I occasionally still find "new" numbers that I am not familiar with or have forgotten about, so I could really use such a reference. What I have found on Castpics seems very fragmentary, so I can't seem to get the info I need. :-(

Thanks, Beagle. I had seen that one, but there was another one that had even more of the early patterns shown. I think I now may have been able to transpose what I needed out of this one, if I assume the reuse of numbers ran as predicted. I'd still like to find that one somebody did that looked pretty well pasted together but had a bunch of oddball moulds on it. Thanks again.

I just looked on that site, also. There used to be a mold ID section that used old Ideal, H&G, Cramer and B&M catalogs. Maybe, it's the same thing Froggie was looking for.

With a lot of disapointment, I couldn't find it :(

It is probably among these: http://castpics.net/dpl/index.php/the-library/moulds/30-mold-catalogs-of-old
Specifically this one? http://castpics.net/dpl/index.php/the-library/moulds/30-mold-catalogs-of-old/112-ideal-and-lyman-combined-chart
It is the only I had ever seen on Castpics. The new format of drop down menus is difficult to navigate on my Kindle Fire or phone(they don't like to drop down), and sometimes you finally get there and need a plugin.

Thanks texassako; I tried to look at the "combined chart" but I can only get down to the 257 sized bullets, which is no help. I don't know why my navigation software isn't working! :(

It is kind of tricky since there are 2 scroll bars and my mouse wheel only moves the main page scroll bar, not the document scroll bar. Try downloading it since it is a .pdf file.

WHAT bullet number are you looking for??
Do you not have the series of Lyman Cast Bullet Handbooks?

I finally got it to work by pushing on the side at the upper and lower corners. Thanks also to minerat for sending me a PDF file of that chart as well. I just wish someone would make the effort to put ALL of the Ideal and Lyman moulds on a single chart... a massive job, of course!
