Hi, not a biggy but just out of curiousity, through a want ad here I purchased a Cruise Missle with the intent of using it in the oversized bores of my Japanese rifles and Carcanos (.267-.268), . I read that the Cruise missle normally drops out of these moulds at around .269-70 which would have been perfect.
However when the single cavity mould arrived and I cast a few bullets, the bullets dropped out only at .266. The mold had "Old Feller" name stamped on it so it must have been personized by him unless all the CM's have his name on them. I can still use the mould if I beagle it.
But I'm Just curious about the history of this smaller dia. mould. Was this one of his earlier moulds before he increased the size? I PM'd Oldfeller but saw he doesn't frequent this forum too much any more so I thought one of the members here might know a little bit about this smaller dia. mould. Ray
