I bought a batch of moulds several years ago and this one was among them. It's a bit unusual.....to me, anyway.
A Lyman 358495 Wadcutter with a hollow point pin. I wasn't aware that wadcutters were even available in hollow point form.
Not too sure if it's factory or aftermarket. If it was modified in someone's basement, they did a great job!!!
My on-line search hasn't revealed much. Pretty much nothing, to be honest. I'm hoping the experts here can weigh in on what I have.
It casts and drops excellent boolits, weighing 144 grains with my metal. The ones pictured are tumble coated in HF red and sized to .359
Thanks in advance.
