Looks like a H&G 503

[Markopolo]

well, it has the large lube groove and squareish ... perhaps this one is the ideal 429421.... i dont believe it to be the heath target 429336 due to the larger lube groove. but what do I know.....

and I believe the H&G mould was the 503???

I think it's a Lyman 429421. Not the original but modified with the smaller front band. Still retaining the square lube groove though.

Frank. I choose to name it Frank.

Me too. I would also name him George. I would not squeeze or pet him, though.

Thanks to all of you guys who responded. I have written down all of the suggestions and will, in a few days choose a name from the list to name it. I will let all of you know the name I choose.
Again thank you to all of you. Your time is appreciated.

Why stick with something plain for a name?

How about "Beelzebub the Slayer" or "Bartholomew the Battering Ram":smile:

It may be RCBS, the front driving band doesn't look wide enough. But it's not the Lyman 429421. Lyman's version of the Keith Type uses a very narrow front driving band, and rounded lube grooves. Elmer got upset at Lyman for modifying his bullet design. Which was wide front band and squared lube grooves.

[TNsailorman]

Yes, not a Keith design. Too narrow of a front driving band and rounded grooves. Neither of which Elmer wanted anything to do with.

Looks like more of a 'Clyde' to me.

Not a 429336. That one don't have a crimp groove or at least mine don't./beagle

Definitely that one.
Smaller front drive band.
NOT the H&G #503.

[44MAG#1]

It is a Hensley and Gibbs 503. Funny isn't it.

[Bazoo]

Thanks for the heads up. I thought all H&G 503 were three equal driving bands. When I am lookin on ebay I'll be looking close.

OOPS! My bad. I didn't check the list of posters.

What was the point naming the mold or naming the bullet , Unfrosty the not a snowman , or not a keith , and even the H&G man missed it funny , but should we all post guess this bullet , did not even compare it to lyman 429421 , but with all the custom 44 mag bullet molds and not even shooting them anymore . Nice looking bullet , frost not needed , as to being spoiled by good molds that is a fact NOE MP and Arsenal are all on shelf along with others I do not feel left out on quality compared to H&G , a good mold and one that is accurate is not dependent on name .

So, unless I am not interpting your post correctly, you are saying as long as the bullet shoots well brand, number, name is unimportant. Am I correct or incorrect in reading your post?
Please excuse my ignorance.

Yes name is unimportant i have 20 dollar lee molds and 120 dollar accurate molds and both work just fine.

[FLINTNFIRE]

I never meant or said anything implying anyone was ignorant , I was actually poking fun along with those giving the bullet a name , I did imply that if a given style that is commonly referred to as a keith shoots well brand and number and name to me do not matter , I have quite a few molds in that style , and last few years I do not cast or shoot them , as I commented even the person who has a 503 missed the guess , and with all the variations and makers it is a guessing game .

Interpreting posts is sometimes a strange thing as one knows what one is thinking as typing but it does not always come out the same to others reading it , I am not a collector of molds or reloading shooting stuff , it is all for the shooting and sooner or later I may go back to loading 44 , and then the bullets already cast will get loaded and new ones cast .

Original ideal 429 421 as Elmer designed it in 1928.

[Txcowboy52]

We should name him Elmer !!

[crash87]

Looks like more of a 'Clyde' to me.

"Clyde"? Im not seeing it, looking closely at the dainty narrow top band with the heavier base band, Definitely a "Bonnie"!
