I got a pleasant surprise,
was cleaning out the shed,
and found several molds from the 60's,
I had been loading for,
some of these are.

1 each of the following, all look to be around the 30-50gr weights,
was being used for the 221,222, 22 Hornet rifles and pistols
225230,
225036,
225209,

All the below molds use the zinc washer,
all were used with pure soft lead bullets,
for handgun hunting of wild hogs.

Don't know where to find any of the zinc washers,
any more. Any suggestions on where to find some??

358500,
358502,
429509,
429518,

Plus 4 odd ball molds,
which I think was the custom molds for making 2 parts bullets,
357 & 44 calibers,
hard WW/Lino base with pure lead nose.

Tia,
Don

I couldn't find any washers with a Google search.

I did find a 44 mold that comes with washers on eBay.
