Mismarked RCBS Mold?

I ordered a new RCBS 38-150-SWC, twice. The molds are both marked 38-150-SWC. Box labels are 38-150-SWC, 82032, Top Punch #429.

This appears to be a mold for a gas check bullet, I think a 38-158-SWC. The base is slightly smaller than the rear band.

Am I mistaken? I would like to confirm before I send the second mold back.

You are correct,sir.

Thank you. Is this a common occurrence?

[rwadley]

I've seen it a couple of times. I wouldn't say it is common, though.

Call RCBS - they need to know this and they will take care of you.

Keep it for using it in your '35 remington.

I had the same thing happen recently, with the same exact mold. Did you buy yours from Midway by chance? The box was labeled correctly, but the mold was for gas check. Sent it back.

Mine was from Amazon, so I don't know where it may have been.
