Carl,

Here is a sister site, CastPics (http://www.castpics.net/), that has pictures/weights for most molds. Click on "Molds" and then the maker you are interested in... Ideal was bought by Lyman so the mold could be under either one.

The conventional wisdom on Lyman 411423 is keep the velocity down to 1600 fps or so for best accuracy. I have an old unvented Ideal version that is the bestb casting mould I own, and very accurate with moderate loads.

413's in both as issued or HP's are the most accurate blt in my heavy bbl 308W at about 1850 FPS chronoed. The HP's have a slight edge on accuracy it seems however.
