Looking for some sample or mold from Hoch, about 330 grains, maybe a bit less. I was given a bag of these years ago by a fellow who also had a '75 C.Sharps. He said they were very accurate. They were. He is long gone, so are the boolits, and it seems Hoch also. I would like to get a current maker to spin one up for me if I can find it. I've been looking for about 20 years to no avail. Is there a pictured list of Hoch products out there somewhere? circa 1995. Sure would appreciate any help here. thanks

Have you ever tried the Lyman 378674? It sounds similar to the Hoch mold you mentioned. I use it in my 38-55 with black powder and have been happy with it.

Have you thought of the Accurate Mold? 38-310E is the one I have, but I haven't spent much time on it.

I have a Hoch mold that drops a 295grn .
.383 Base diameter .371 nose one wide grease gruve in the base and 3 in the nose.
Mold # 382295.
It's an older mold that I bought at the local auction house along with one for the 32-40. Yes I use them. Pm me and I'll get a sample cast .

376310 or 377310 is likely what you want

thanks all, I have many molds, Lyman/Ideal, heavies, lights but this mold shot about 1 minute of angle to 600yds, 21 grains of 4198. I really wish I knew what the code number was. I will probably break down and buy from Accurate, or somebody in the 310 range.
BrassMagnet- do you have those molds?
wwmartin - pm inbound - I don't know any of the particulars.
