After seeing the illustration in Mikenbarb's post on his .22 caliber H&G mould, I thought I'd post this.
I came across this mould a pretty long while back. It has no markings, other than "M-311-910" on one side and "XX-XXX-XXX(X?)" on the other. It has the long straight handles that are illustrated in the H&G catalogs, and the cam-shaped sprue plate. (One of the handle screws is missing, and there is a makeshift replacement.) However, I can't find a cavity like it in the H&G photos, nor is there a number 910 listed. The line of X's don't seem to overlay any other letters, except maybe more X's.
The cavities are .311 caliber, with a tiny forward lube groove ahead of two crimp grooves and a bevel base which also has a gas check shank. It looks almost like there is another crimp groove ahead of the bevel base band as well. The boolits shoot pretty well out of my rebarreled Krag and my .30 Remington, as I recall, they're about 150 grains or so in weight.
Anybody seen anything like this before?
