accurate molds identifying letter

[redriverhunter]

I have done a search here, and looked over accurates' we page and I can not figure out what the identifying letters mean any one here have an idea thanks

The letter is an identifier for the designer. The blackpowder bullets designed by the late John Kort have a "C" which refers to his SASS handle Jack Christian. Steve Hurst's and my designs all have an "H".

one I changed the design from an existing design kept the letters but with a different weight number. so I guess it gets a bit blurry if that's the case

The letters simply make it possible for there to be 26 different designs of the came caliber and weight.
I assign them arbitrarily. Sometimes the choice is obvious, such as K for Keith or V for Veral (wide flat nose). I often use the initial of the designer. If someone requests a slight modification of an existing design I give it a letter next to the original letter so that the new version will appear next to the old in the catalog for easier comparison. Same thing with a simple change of weight. Use the same letter to help people see that one is just a different length than the other.

Ed, I've been meaning to ask...
I've noted in my catalog that John designed the #43-215C, would you like your name noted on your designs?

Gents, you will find John Kort’s write up for the Acurate molds educational. Personally, I shoot his 215C bullets in a #2 JM Marlin Sporting rifle
