Am fooling in basement today, to hot to be outside. In box of junk I bought at sale
a while back is a old Ideal mold. ( I think) number #303271. I poured one cold with
solder, .360" dia. I looked back through old manuals and can't find it listed. Can
anyone ID this one? Didn't weigh it because poured with Alum. solder.

Will look up pic and see if it matches. Outside of blocks beat up, had to use a glass to make out
numbers.

Got to agree with rwadley and tazman, looks like the same bullet I get from the 358311 Ideal 2-cav mould I have...

360271 is a 146 gr. SWC. What does yours weigh?

Well look at you with your fancy, labeled size dies.. Showoff ;) Mine are a jumbled mess in an old Hornady gas check box. :)

358311 is my guess too. Shoots under 2" at 50 yards from one of my M14 S&W's

You guys are right, found picture of 358311, same mold. Outside of blocks beat up a little but
cavity alright. Shoot WCs out of my 14s.

The 358-311 is a great boolit. I use them quite a bit in my 38s. Cast some up and give them a spin down range in that fine looking 14!
